After both having extra time off, the Atlee Raiders and the King William Cavaliers will shake off the rust and duke it out at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Atlee barely beat Henrico the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Raiders never let the Warriors get on the board and left with a 14-0 win two weeks ago. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Raiders considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
