Laney has won four straight games at home, while Topsail has won four straight on the road dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. The Buccaneers will welcome the Pirates at 6:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Laney 2, Topsail 2.6) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Laney's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 12-0 margin over Ashley. With that victory, the Buccaneers brought their scoring average up to 6.1 runs per game.
