For the first time this season, Florence will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will be playing at home against the Ellicott Thunderhawks at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Florence's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs every time they've taken the field this season.
Florence took a 20-run loss the last time they faced off against Rocky Ford, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Huskies had just enough and edged out the Meloneers 11-10. While the Huskies didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Ashton Edwards was excellent, going 2-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base. That stolen base was his first of the season.
Edwards wasn't the only one making solid contact: Florence kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits every time they've taken the field this season.
