Fivay hasn't had much luck against Mitchell recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. Fivay will head out on the road to square off against Mitchell at 7:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Fivay barely beat Anclote the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Fivay's pitcher stepped up to hand Anclote an 18-0 shutout on Tuesday. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for the Falcons' hitters, who had struggled in the games prior.
