Mahomet-Seymour and Charleston are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2019, but likely not for long. The Bulldogs will venture away from home to challenge the Trojans at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Mahomet-Seymour's pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so Charleston's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
On Thursday, Mahomet-Seymour got the win against Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley by a conclusive 13-3. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by ten runs or more this season.

Not much got past Quinn Taylor, who gave up just two hits and racked up six Ks to keep Rantoul off the board. Taylor also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Charleston is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-6 otherwise.
At the plate, Charleston's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Owen Bennett, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
