The Maranacook Black Bears will take on the Madison Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Maranacook will be strutting in after a victory while Madison will be coming in after a defeat.
Maranacook took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They never let Mountain Valley get on the board and left with a 4-0 win. The Black Bears haven't had any issues with the Falcons recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
The team relied heavily on Grady Hreben, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Meanwhile, in Wednesday's Canine Competition, Madison didn't have enough. They took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of Lisbon on Wednesday.
Madison saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Bobby Vigue, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Maranacook came out on top in a nail-biter against Madison in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Black Bears since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
