The Midview Middies are taking a road trip to take on the Brunswick Blue Devils at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Midview barely beat Lorain the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Middies put the hurt on the Titans with a sharp 13-3 victory on Thursday. That's two games straight that the Middies have won by exactly ten runs.
Camden Scott made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (two). He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Midview's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 3-1 (and 5-12 when he doesn't).

Brunswick pushed their record up to 12-7 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.2 runs over those games. As for Midview, their record is now 8-13.
Midview might still be hurting after the 12-6 defeat they got from Brunswick in their previous meeting back in May of 2015. Can the Middies avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
