As for Lawton, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-25.
Apache will be playing in front of their home fans against Hobart at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Apache's pitching crew has only allowed 3.4 runs per game this season, so Hobart's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Lawton, they will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Altus at 4:30 p.m. Altus knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy run totals in its past six matches -- so hopefully Lawton likes a good challenge.
