Old Fort hasn't had much luck against Calvert recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Stockaders will face off against the Senecas at 5:00 p.m.

They put the hurt on the Crimson Streaks with a sharp 21-4 victory. Considering the Senecas have won nine matches by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Cameron Moyer was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Old Fort has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game.
