Shenandoah and Alexandria-Monroe are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2018, but likely not for long. The Raiders will welcome the Tigers at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Shenandoah is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.9 runs per game this season.
Shenandoah is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Knightstown just ended the team's eight-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 6-5.
