The Fulton Pirates will head out on the road to face off against the St. Patrick Shamrocks at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the pair will really light up the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, St. Patrick entered their tilt with St. Charles with five consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with six. St. Patrick claimed a resounding 53-16 victory over St. Charles at home. The result was nothing new for St. Patrick, who have now won five matches by 23 points or more so far this season.
