Warsaw is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Monday. They will be playing in front of their home fans against the Wawasee Warriors at 5:30 p.m. After the two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one won't be so lucky on Monday.
Wawasee will be up against a hot Warsaw squad: the team just extended their winning streak to three. Everything went the Tigers' way against New Haven on Friday as they made off with a 14-3 win. That 11 run margin sets a new team best for the Tigers this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wawasee). They blew past Triton 23-2 on Saturday. The Warriors have beaten the Trojans the last nine times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Trojans has come to flipping the script.

Meanwhile, Krichbaum pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.
