Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Baldwin will square off against University Christian at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. University Christian is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season. As for Valdosta, a feisty cat fight will be fought as the Wildcats face off against the Panthers at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Valdosta's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so Tiftarea Academy's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
