Trenton has gone 9-1 against Edsel Ford recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Trojans will be playing in front of their home fans against the Thunderbirds at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Trenton 2.8, Edsel Ford 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Edsel Ford will square off against a team with plenty of momentum: Trenton extended their winning streak to three on Monday. The Trojans' pitcher stepped up to hand Taylor a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Trojans have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Joel Mator tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Trenton's victory was truly a team effort as nine different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Easton Curry, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, two doubles, and two RBI. Those two doubles gave Curry a new career-high. Lukas Totten also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Trenton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .576. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Taylor only posted an OBP of .167.
Meanwhile, Edsel Ford fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Woodhaven on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Warriors by a score of 2-1. The Thunderbirds' defeat signaled the end of their six-game winning streak.
Ayden Clough was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits.
Trenton's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Edsel Ford, their loss dropped their record down to 11-6.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Trenton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Edsel Ford struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Trenton came out on top in a nail-biter against Edsel Ford in their previous matchup on April 11th, sneaking past 7-5. Will the Trojans repeat their success, or do the Thunderbirds have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
