Honey Grove has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. Trenton's record now sits at 7-8.
Honey Grove skirted past Trenton 1-0 in their previous matchup on March 11th. The rematch might be a little tougher for Honey Grove since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
