Manchester is on a three-game streak of home wins, while Cosby is on a six-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Lancers will welcome the Titans at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Manchester 1.2, Cosby 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Manchester's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. Everything went their way against Powhatan as they made off with a 6-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Lancers, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Powhatan's batters probably weren't too happy with Landon Anderson, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 13 Ks (he gave up a single walk). Anderson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one hit in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Easton VanDyke, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Easton Butts, who went 3-for-4 with one double.
Meanwhile, Cosby had just enough and edged out James River Midlothian 5-4 on Monday. That's two games straight that the Titans have won by just one run.
Manchester's victory bumped their record up to 17-2. As for Cosby, their win bumped their record up to 16-3.
Manchester skirted past Cosby 2-0 in their previous matchup back in April. Do the Lancers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Titans turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
