D'Evelyn and Golden are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2018, but likely not for long. The Jaguars will face off against the Demons at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Golden's hitters are going to have their work cut out for them on Friday: D'Evelyn hadn't allowed a single run the last three times they've hit the field. The Jaguars never let Green Mountain get on the board and left with an 11-0 victory on Wednesday.
The result came thanks to Nava Basquez's shutout, as she gave up just five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 17 consecutive appearances.

Friday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. D'Evelyn has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .513. However, it's not like Golden struggles in that department as they've averaged .516. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
D'Evelyn skirted past Golden 3-2 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Jaguars since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
