The Edison Eagles will head out to challenge the Lewis Lancers at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Lewis took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Edison, who comes in off a win.
Edison's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They put the hurt on Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology with a sharp 6-0 victory. Considering the Eagles have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Not much got past Jackson Naumovich, who gave up just two hits and racked up eight Ks to keep Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology off the board. Naumovich has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.

Those three stolen bases gave Dobson a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Sam Roeschlein, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI and one run.
Meanwhile, Tuesday just wasn't the day for Lewis' offense. They fell 5-0 to Mount Vernon on Tuesday. The Lancers haven't had much luck with the Majors recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.
Edison has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-6-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Lewis, their loss dropped their record down to 2-8.
Lewis' pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Edison hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .339. It's a different story for Lewis, though, as they've only averaged .227. Will they be able to contain Edison's hitters?
Everything went Edison's way against Lewis in their previous matchup on April 7th, as Edison made off with a 16-2 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
