The Highland Park Scots will head out on the road to challenge the Simley Spartans at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Highland Park can't be too happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Wednesday. They fell just short of St. Paul Central by a score of 8-7. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last seven times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Meanwhile, Simley fell victim to Hill-Murray and their airtight pitching crew on Thursday. They fell just short of the Pioneers by a score of 1-0. The Spartans have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Highland Park skirted past Simley 9-7 when the teams last played back in May of 2019. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Scots since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
