Rocklin has won 11 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while College Park has won 11 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Monday. The Thunder will be taking part in a tournament against the Falcons at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Rocklin 2.5, College Park 3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
