Brodhead is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Evansville, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season.
Everything went Brodhead's way against Evansville in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as Brodhead made off with a 6-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cardinals since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
