On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Kelsey Armes, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming matchups. Delta will take on New Palestine at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Dragons' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Eagles' hitters will have their work cut out for them.

The Trojans have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.2 runs per game on average), something the Panthers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
