The Mayfield Panthers will square off against the Amsterdam Rams at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Mayfield is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.2 runs per game this season.

Mayfield made up a huge gap compared to their last game against Duanesburg, but they still couldn't quite topple them. The Panthers fell just short of the Eagles by a score of 4-2 on Friday. Having soared to a lofty 14 runs in the game before, the Panthers couldn't push the score so high this time.
