The Dreadnaughts will head out to take on the Indians at 6:00 p.m. Dexter's pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so Tecumseh's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Railsplitters. Having soared to a lofty 13 runs in the game before, the Dreadnaughts couldn't push the score so high this time.
