The Molalla Indians will challenge the Gladstone Gladiators at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Molalla's pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so Gladstone's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Gladstone will square off against a team with plenty of momentum: Molalla extended their winning streak to three on Thursday. The Indians never let Madras get on the board and left with a 10-0 win.
