The Dunmore Bucks will challenge the Pittston Patriots at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

The Bucks have beaten the Warriors the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Warriors has come to flipping the script.

Jamie McMynne was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Those 12 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Dunmore got a big performance out of Mason Stets, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs. Another player making a difference was Anthony Yerka, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one double.

Meanwhile, Pittston took care of business in their home opener (barely) on Sunday. They skirted past Abington Heights 5-4. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.

Like Dunmore, Pittston also got a great game from a two-way player: Elijah Barr. He tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Barr was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with two RBI and one run.

Barr wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Beau Widdick, who went 2-for-5 with one run and one double.
