The Roosevelt Roughriders will take on the Seattle Academy Cardinals at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Roosevelt 4, Seattle Academy 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Roosevelt had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Cleveland on Friday. The Roughriders put the hurt on the Eagles with a sharp 11-1 win. The Roughriders haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Friday Seattle Academy sidestepped Nathan Hale for an 8-6 win.

He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk).

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Dashiell Story, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. He has become a key player for Seattle Academy: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 4-6 otherwise.
