The Springtown Porcupines will challenge the Decatur Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. One thing working in Springtown's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last three matchups.
On Friday, Springtown made easy work of Castleberry and carried off a 17-2 win. The Porcupines might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 games by six runs or more this season.
Sagelyn Jacobson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Springtown has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a massive bump to their 18-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.1 runs over those games. As for Decatur, they now have a losing record of 8-9.
Monday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Springtown has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .488. However, it's not like Decatur struggles in that department as they've averaged .533. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Springtown was able to grind out a solid win over Decatur in their previous meeting back in March, winning 10-6. Will the Porcupines repeat their success, or do the Eagles have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
