Rootstown has won three straight games at home, while Berkshire has won three straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Monday. The Rovers will host the Badgers at 5:00 p.m. Rootstown is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.9 runs per game this season.
Rootstown is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering St. Vincent-St. Mary just ended the team's eight-game winning streak on Friday. They fell 9-4 to the Fighting Irish.

She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high.

Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Monday. Rootstown hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like Berkshire struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.4 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Rootstown skirted past Berkshire 5-4 in their previous meeting on April 9th. Do the Rovers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Badgers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
