South Anchorage has won five straight games at home, while Eagle River has won five straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Thursday. The Wolverines will welcome the Wolves at 5:15 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (South Anchorage 3.4, Eagle River 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
South Anchorage is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Alaska's top teams: Colony, who was ranked sixth at the time (South Anchorage was ranked second). The Wolverines walked away with a 4-1 victory over the Knights on Wednesday.
David Feigner spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up 14 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances.

Jim Massey was another key player, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eagle River).

The Wolves haven't had any issues with the Thunderbirds recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive win against them.
Inoa Wakinekona made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
