The Falcons will head out on the road to challenge the Knights at 3:30 p.m. Clearfield is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.8 runs per game this season.

Clearfield is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Northridge, their record is now 5-6.
Thursday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Clearfield hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .387. However, it's not like Northridge struggles in that department as they've averaged .324. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Clearfield was able to grind out a solid win over Northridge in their previous matchup back in March, winning 15-10. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
