The victory made it two in a row for Baldwin and bumps their season record up to 4-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Lynbrook, their record now sits at 6-3.
Wednesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Baldwin has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .563. However, it's not like Lynbrook struggles in that department as they've averaged .438. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Baldwin couldn't quite finish off Lynbrook in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 and fell 10-8. Can the Bruins avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
