Looking ahead, Massaponax will look to defend their home field on Monday against James Monroe at 6:30 p.m. The Yellow Jackets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.07 runs per game on average), something the Panthers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Brooke Point, they are taking a road trip to square off against King George at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Foxes' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Black Hawks' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
