Randolph took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Mount Olive, who comes in off a win.

Mount Olive came out on top against Westfield on Thursday thanks in part to the team's impressive six-run sixth inning. The Marauders put the hurt on the Blue Devils with a sharp 9-1 win.
