Wesleyan Christian Academy's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-6. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Forsyth Home Educators, their loss dropped their record down to 12-7.
Wesleyan Christian Academy's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Forsyth Home Educators has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .433.
