Campbellsville has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-14 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Caverna, their loss dropped their record down to 7-14.

Campbellsville took their victory against Caverna when the teams last played back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 16-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
