The Kennedy Bears will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Medina Mustangs at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a three-game winning streak alive.
Kennedy is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They blew past Alden 18-3 last Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Meanwhile, Medina extended their postseason success on Thursday against Southwestern. They didn't even let the Trojans on the board, marking their second-straight 8-0 shutout. Considering the Mustangs have won 15 games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Not much got past Preston Woodworth, who gave up just three hits and racked up 13 Ks to keep Southwestern off the board.
On the hitting side, Aidan Papaj and Carlos Doval did most of the damage at the plate: Papaj went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Doval went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Papaj is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last 14 games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Hadrian Batista, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base.
Kennedy's record now sits at 3-1. As for Medina, their record is now 18-2.
Kennedy was able to grind out a solid win over Medina in their previous meeting back in April, winning 4-1. Do the Bears have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Mustangs turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
