Baldwin and Atlantic Coast are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2015, but likely not for long. The Indians are taking a road trip to challenge the Stingrays at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Baldwin 3.4, Atlantic Coast 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Baldwin's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They blew past Paxon School For Advanced Studies 6-0. The Indians haven't had any issues with the Golden Eagles recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.
