Homer has gone a perfect 4-0 against North Pole recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Mariners will take on the Patriots at 4:00 p.m. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Homer unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-pitch advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of Soldotna by a score of 1-0 on Thursday. The loss continues a trend for Homer in their meetings with Soldotna: they've now lost six in a row.

Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 1-1 at halftime, North Pole was not quite Ketchikan's equal in the second half on Saturday. They fell 3-1 to the Kings. The loss put an end to North Pole's undefeated start to the season.

Homer beat North Pole by a goal in their previous meeting back in May of 2022, winning 2-1. Will the Mariners repeat their success, or do the Patriots have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
