Jaxson Bell made a splash no matter where he played. He tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

Flint Hill's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-4. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Saint James, their record now sits at 3-6.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Saturday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Flint Hill has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Saint James struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.1 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Flint Hill skirted past Saint James 6-5 in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Huskies since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
