Kerens is a perfect 4-0 against Trinidad since March of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Bobcats will look to defend their home field against the Trojans at 5:15 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Kerens has eight straight wins, Trinidad has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Kerens is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Avalon a 19-0 shutout on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Bobcats, who have now won nine matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
