Pittsfield has gone a perfect 7-0 against Nute recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Panthers will be playing in front of their home fans against the Rams at 4:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Pittsfield has three straight wins, Nute has 12 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

The home team had come away the winner the last five times Nute and Farmington had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Rams came up short against the Tigers on Monday, falling 15-1. Rams fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Tigers since Monday.
Pittsfield's win bumped their record up to 8-1. As for Nute, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-10.
Nute's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Pittsfield hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .400. It's a different story for Nute, though, as they've only averaged .211. Will they be able to contain Pittsfield's hitters?
Pittsfield got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April against Nute by a conclusive 15-1 score. Do the Panthers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Rams turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
