The Tri-City Christian Eagles are taking a road trip to take on the Francis Parker Lancers at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Tri-City Christian is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.5 runs per game this season.
Tri-City Christian had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 14-run drubbing they dealt La Jolla Country Day on Wednesday. The Eagles never let the Torreys get on the board and left with a 14-0 victory. The Eagles have beaten the Torreys the last four times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Torreys has come to flipping the script.
