Midlothian Heritage's win was their tenth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 23-7. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.6 runs over those games. As for Kaufman, their record is now 8-14-2.
Everything went Midlothian Heritage's way against Kaufman in their previous matchup back in March, as Midlothian Heritage made off with a 17-7 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Jaguars since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
