Bremen is 7-1 against Knox since May of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Lions are taking a road trip to square off against the Redskins at 4:00 p.m. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Bremen took a nine-run loss the last time they faced off against Jimtown, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Lions sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-5 victory over the Jimmies on Thursday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Lions.
Chrissy Grabowski made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed seven innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off nine hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run.
