The Williston Red Devils will take on the Palatka Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Williston is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.1 runs per game this season.
Williston is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to ten runs on Friday, they were much more limited against Interlachen on Tuesday. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Rams.

Meanwhile, Palatka came tearing into Tuesday's game with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.4 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured an 8-7 W against the Flashes. That's two games straight that the Panthers have won by just one run.
Tanner Akers and Jacob Gaskin did most of the damage at the plate: Akers scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances, while Gaskin scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Williston has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Palatka struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Williston skirted past Palatka 4-3 when the teams last played back in March. Do the Red Devils have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Panthers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
