Mosinee has gone a perfect 10-0 against Northland Pines recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Saturday. The Indians will face off against the Eagles at 2:00 p.m. Mosinee is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.6 runs per game this season.
Mosinee had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Lakeland on Thursday. The Indians were the clear victors by a 14-1 margin over the Thunderbirds. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by eight runs or more this season.
Ethan Oatman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up six Ks.
