Prior Lake is a perfect 10-0 against Apple Valley since May of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Lakers will head out to challenge the Eagles at 4:30 p.m. Apple Valley took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Prior Lake, who comes in off a win.

Prior Lake will bounce into Thursday's match after beating Shakopee, who they had gone 1-8 against in their nine prior meetings. The Lakers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Sabers a 5-0 shutout on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Apple Valley had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They lost 15-0 to Rosemount.

Prior Lake came out on top in a nail-biter against Apple Valley in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lakers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
