Preview: Avon Grove Red Devils vs. Oxford Hornets
The Avon Grove Red Devils will head out on the road to challenge the Oxford Hornets at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

At the plate, Brendon Baiocco was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Oxford had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took an 8-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of Sun Valley on Tuesday. Oxford has struggled against Sun Valley recently, as their contest on Tuesday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Avon Grove was able to grind out a solid win over Oxford in their previous matchup back in May of 2023, winning 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Avon Grove since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
