North Star has won eight straight games at home, while Glenns Ferry has won eight straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Huskies will host the Pilots at 3:30 p.m. One thing working in North Star's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last six matches.
North Star's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They were the clear victors by a 17-0 margin over Garden Valley. The result was nothing new for the Huskies, who have now won 14 games by eight runs or more so far this season.
Luke Fox made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Fox was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
