The Cavaliers are taking a road trip to face off against the Generals at 7:30 p.m. Dorman's pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so Wade Hampton's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Dorman had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Spartanburg on Friday. The Cavaliers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Vikings a 7-0 shutout. The Cavaliers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by six runs or more this season.

Boiling Springs hit Wade Hampton with a four-run fourth inning on Thursday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Generals fell just short of the Bulldogs by a score of 9-8.

Dorman has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-7-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Wade Hampton, their loss dropped their record down to 8-10.

Dorman took their victory against Wade Hampton in their previous matchup back in March by a conclusive 12-5 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cavaliers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
