Newkirk was handed a 12-run loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Saturday. They had just enough and edged out the Blackwell Maroons 6-4. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since September 6, 2022, but that streak is no more.

Newkirk's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 3-1. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Blackwell, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Newkirk will look to takes advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they takes on Preston at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Blackwell, they will welcome Perry at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
