Sweetwater is a perfect 4-0 against Kearny since March of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Sweetwater Red Devils will face off against the Kearny Komets at 3:30 p.m. After the two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one won't be so lucky on Thursday.
Kearny will be up against a hot Sweetwater team: the squad just extended their winning streak to three. Sweetwater blew past Lincoln 21-4 on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Red Devils, who have now won four matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Sweetwater was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .481. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .385 or higher every time they've taken the field this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kearny). They were the clear victor by a 14-1 margin over Julian on Wednesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Komets.
