The Bangs Dragons will take on the Cisco Loboes at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Bangs is coming into the game hot, having won their last four games.
Bangs had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Abilene Christian on Thursday. The Dragons blew past the Panthers 21-8. The result was nothing new for the Dragons, who have now won ten contests by six runs or more so far this season.
