Southwest SD has gone a perfect 3-0 against Kearny recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. After both having extra time off, the two teams will shake off the rust and duke it out at 3:30 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Southwest SD has four straight wins, Kearny has three straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
If Southwest SD beats Kearny with 17 runs on Wednesday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two games with that exact score. The Raiders never let Hoover get on the board and left with a 17-0 victory two weeks ago. The Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by six runs or more this season.
