Midtown is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They never let Drew get on the board and left with a 28-0 victory last Wednesday. The Knights' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last three contests.
Sam Dempsey was a major factor no matter where he played.

That triple was his first of the season.
