The New Lima Falcons will square off against the Strother Yellowjackets at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The timing is sure in New Lima's favor as the squad sits on five straight wins at home while Strother has been banged up by 13 consecutive losses on the road dating back to last season.
New Lima was handed a 12-run defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-4 victory over Coleman.
Meanwhile, after low-scoring totals in their previous three contests, Strother brought some dynamite into their most recent matchup. They never let Mason get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Thursday. The victory was some much needed relief for the Yellowjackets as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
New Lima is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.9 runs on average over those games. Strother's victory was their first in the district, bumping their district record up to 1-3 and their overall record up to 3-10.
