Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Morse will square off against Mission Bay at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Buccaneers' pitching crew has only allowed 2.1 runs per game this season, so the Tigers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Francis Parker, they will challenge La Jolla Country Day at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Torreys have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.6 runs per game on average), something the Lancers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
