The Los Fresnos Falcons will head out on the road to square off against the San Benito Greyhounds at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Los Fresnos has three straight wins, the Greyhounds have five straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
