The Mustangs will head out to challenge the Raiders at 6:00 p.m. Neither Mandarin nor Orange Park posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.

The Raiders' pitcher stepped up to hand the Senators a 1-0 shutout. Winning may never get old, but the Raiders sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.
The result came thanks to Yaziel Del Valle's shutout, as he gave up just two hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

Everything went Mandarin's way against Orange Park when the teams last played back in March of 2025, as Mandarin made off with an 8-0 victory.
