Baker County is on a 14-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Montverde Academy is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Wildcats will host the Eagles at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
On Tuesday, Baker County sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-4 victory over Middleburg.
Grace Masterson looked comfortable as she struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances.

With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
