The Gibsonburg Golden Bears will square off against the Danbury Lakers at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Gibsonburg comes in on five and Danbury on three.
Gibsonburg had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Woodmore on Wednesday. The Golden Bears put the hurt on the Wildcats with a sharp 17-1 win. The Golden Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by seven runs or more this season.
