The Western Albemarle Warriors will challenge the Hanover Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Western Albemarle has seven straight victories, Hanover has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Western Albemarle had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Rocktown back in March. The Warriors blew past the Raptors 16-1. While the Warriors didn't have the best season last year (they finished 8-12), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
