Susquehannock and Northeastern are an even 3-3-1 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Warriors will welcome the Bobcats at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. Susquehannock is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.7 runs per game this season.
Susquehannock is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Kennard-Dale just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Friday. They fell just short of the Rams by a score of 3-1. The Warriors were red-hot at the plate heading into the game (they scored no less than ten runs in the three contests prior), but the Rams' pitcher proved too tough.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Northeastern). They put the hurt on William Penn with a sharp 24-4 win on Friday. The Bobcats have beaten the Bearcats the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Bearcats has come to flipping the script.
