The Roosevelt Mustangs will take on the Arlington Lions at 3:15 p.m. on Friday. Neither Roosevelt nor Arlington posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
Roosevelt is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Upland just ended the team's three-game winning streak two weeks ago. They fell 7-2 to the Highlanders/Scots.
Meanwhile, Arlington hadn't done well against Ramona recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. Arlington never let Ramona get on the board and left with a 1-0 victory. The one-run effort marked the Lions' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Arlington has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. Roosevelt's defeat dropped their record down to 5-3-1.
Roosevelt took their win against Arlington in their previous matchup back in February of 2017 by a conclusive 8-2. Will Roosevelt repeat their success, or does Arlington have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
