North Posey pushed their record up to 10-4 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. As for South Spencer, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-5 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. North Posey will square off against Gibson Southern at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Titans' pitching crew has only allowed 2.2 runs per game this season, so the Vikings' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
