Apalachee pushed their record up to 9-11 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.8 runs over those games.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Apalachee will host Loganville at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Red Devils' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Wildcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
