Fort Lee and Dumont are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2021, but likely not for long. The Bridgemen will be playing at home against the Huskies at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. The timing is sure in Fort Lee's favor as the team sits on three straight wins at home while Dumont has been banged up by five consecutive losses on the road.
Fort Lee had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Fair Lawn on Saturday. The Bridgemen blew past the Cutters 11-1. The Bridgemen might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.
Ethan Rybalsky spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

Meanwhile, Dumont lost 15-1 to Ramsey on Saturday.
Dumont saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Isaac Funez, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base.
Fort Lee has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.6 runs over those games. As for Dumont, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Fort Lee has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Dumont struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Fort Lee beat Dumont 4-0 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Will the Bridgemen repeat their success, or do the Huskies have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
