Sanger is on a three-game streak of home wins, while Eagle Mountain is on a six-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Indians will welcome the Knights at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Sanger knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past three contests -- so hopefully Eagle Mountain likes a good challenge.
Sanger came out on top against Bonham on Tuesday thanks in part to the team's impressive seven-run fourth inning. The Indians were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the Warriors. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
