Katahdin has won 11 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Hodgdon has won 11 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Monday. The Cougars will welcome the Hawks at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Katahdin 2.9, Hodgdon 3.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
On Friday, Katahdin made easy work of Southern Aroostook and carried off a 20-9 win. Considering the Cougars have won six matches by more than nine runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Connor Edwards was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was even better at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, seven RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits he has posted since May 5th.
