Oak Forest barely beat Bremen the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bengals blew past the Braves 12-3 on Tuesday. Considering the Bengals have won 13 matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Oak Forest is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-9-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Bremen, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-14.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Oak Forest will welcome Oak Lawn at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Bengals' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Spartans have averaged an impressive 8.5 runs per game this season. As for Bremen, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Argo at 4:30 p.m. The Argonauts have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.44 runs per game on average), something the Braves will no doubt try to take advantage of.
