Barlow is 9-1 against Reynolds since May of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Bruins are taking a road trip to face off against the Raiders at 5:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Barlow has four straight wins, Reynolds has nine straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

On Wednesday, Barlow made easy work of Clackamas and carried off a 12-1 victory. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, Reynolds fell victim to Gresham and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They came up short against the Gophers, falling 15-0. That's two games in a row now that the Raiders have lost by exactly 15 runs.

Reynolds' defeat dropped their record down to 1-17. As for Barlow, their win bumped their record up to 11-8.

Everything went Barlow's way against Reynolds in their previous matchup two weeks ago, as Barlow made off with a 14-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bruins since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
