Manor hasn't had much luck against Granby recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Mustangs will square off against the Comets at 4:30 p.m. Manor is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.8 runs per game this season.

Churchland hit Manor with a four-run first inning on Wednesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Mustangs took a 9-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Truckers.

Manor saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Tiesha Cross, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run. Another was Makenzie Monty, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI and one triple.

Kellam hit Granby with a five-run first inning on Wednesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Comets fell 7-2 to the Knights. The Comets haven't had much luck with the Knights recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.

Granby's defeat dropped their record down to 9-4. As for Manor, their loss dropped their record down to 9-9.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Manor has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Granby struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Manor might still be hurting after the 16-1 defeat they got from Granby when the teams last played back in April. Can the Mustangs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
