Hopewell has gone a perfect 10-0 against Petersburg recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Blue Devils will venture away from home to square off against the Crimson Wave at 6:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Hopewell has five straight victories, Petersburg has four straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

Hopewell had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Meadowbrook on Thursday. The Blue Devils blew past the Monarchs 14-6. The Blue Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by seven runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, Petersburg fell victim to Sussex Central and their airtight pitching crew on Monday. They fell just short of the Tigers by a score of 1-0.

Hopewell's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-5. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Petersburg, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-11.
