East Lake has won three straight games at home, while Calvary Christian has won three straight on the road dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Thursday. The Eagles will welcome the Warriors at 7:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (East Lake 3.4, Calvary Christian 1.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
East Lake's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They put the hurt on Clearwater with a sharp 6-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won nine matches by six runs or more so far this season.
The result came thanks to Camden Boehm's shutout, as he gave up just two hits and racked up ten Ks.
