Langley has won four straight games at home, while McLean has won four straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Saxons will welcome the Highlanders at 6:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Langley 2.4, McLean 0.6) so any runs scored will be well earned.
The home team had won the previous seven meetings between Langley and Yorktown, and Langley kept the tradition alive. The Saxons had just enough and edged out the Patriots 4-2. Four seems to be a good number for the Saxons as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
