After only two runs in their last game, Willard made sure to put some runs up on the board against Bolivar on Friday. The Tigers put the hurt on the Liberators with a sharp 11-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won 19 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Willard has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-8 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Bolivar, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-21 record this season.

Willard will square off against Central at 12:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.5 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
