Athens Bible is a perfect 6-0 against Lindsay Lane Christian Academy since March of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday.

Thursday just wasn't the day for Athens Bible's offense. They fell just short of Elkmont by a score of 2-0 on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Trojans have suffered against the Red Devils since March 8, 2016.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lane Christian Academy had just enough and edged out Lexington 7-5 on Tuesday. That's two games straight that the Lions have won by exactly two runs.
