Baseball Game Preview: Marshfield Rams vs. Norwell Clippers

The Marshfield Rams will face off against the Norwell Clippers at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Marshfield has given up an average of 7 runs per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Marshfield and Hanover meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Thursday. The Rams might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 14-5 to the Hawks, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Rams haven't had much luck with the Hawks recently, as the team has come up short the last nine times they've met.

Meanwhile, Norwell never let their opponents score on Thursday. They blew past Abington 9-0. Considering the Clippers have won five contests by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Norwell is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Marshfield, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-10.

Marshfield might still be hurting after the 11-4 loss they got from Norwell in their previous meeting on Friday. Will the Rams have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
