Hernando's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. Everything went their way against Horn Lake as they made off with a 15-0 win. Considering the Tigers have won 12 contests by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Meanwhile, Lewisburg fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Hernando on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result.

Saturday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Hernando hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .378.
