Suggested Video

American Heritage has won nine straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Coral Glades has won nine straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Monday. The Patriots will host the Jaguars at 6:30 p.m. The last three games American Heritage has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.

On Thursday, American Heritage sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over Spanish River. That's two games straight that the Patriots have won by just one run.

Isabella Benton made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run over 4.1 innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing two bases. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in February.
