Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games.

Coming up, Haverford will head out on the road to take on Marple Newtown at 3:45 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Fords 2.4, the Fightin' Tigers 1.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. Central Bucks East does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
