Bucktail and Muncy are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Bucks will host the Indians at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Bucktail is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.9 runs per game this season.
Bucktail is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Montgomery just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell just short of the Red Raiders by a score of 3-2.

Meanwhile, Muncy entered their tilt with Lewisburg on Monday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Green Dragons a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Indians have won five matches by more than nine runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Chevelle Bauman made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

The victory got Muncy back to even at 5-5. As for Bucktail, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-7.
Thursday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Bucktail has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .449. However, it's not like Muncy struggles in that department as they've averaged .484. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
