Carrollton has won 33 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Auburn has won 33 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Hawks will host the Trojans at 4:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Carrollton 1.6, Auburn 1.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Carrollton proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by ten) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They skirted past Carlinville 3-2.

However, it's not like Auburn struggles in that department as they've averaged .335. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
