The Northside Patriots will challenge the Glenwood Gators at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Northside 3.3, Glenwood 3.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Northside will bounce into Monday's contest after beating Starr's Mill, who they had gone 2-7 against in their nine prior meetings. Northside won by a run and slipped past Starr's Mill 3-2. Surprisingly, this marked the third straight game that the away team has come away the victor.
Ashton Bailey looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits.
On the hitting side, Northside's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Sam Laney, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Glenwood entered their tilt with Richmond-Burton on Wednesday with 11 consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with 12. They blew past the Rockets 18-3. 18 seems to be a good number for the Gators as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Northside is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. Glenwood's victory bumped their record up to 17-3.
