Dinwiddie's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-2. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Clover Hill, their record now sits at 11-4.
Monday's match might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Dinwiddie has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .472. However, it's not like Clover Hill struggles in that department as they've averaged .474. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Dinwiddie beat Clover Hill 5-2 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Generals since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
