Forest Hill is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. West Boca Raton has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season.
