On the hitting side, Vance Kobelia was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Sean Moriarty was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.

Brattleboro is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Mount Anthony, their record is now 9-2-1.
Brattleboro's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Mount Anthony has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .445. It's a different story for Brattleboro, though, as they've only averaged .365. Will they be able to contain Mount Anthony's hitters?
Mount Anthony came out on top in a nail-biter against Brattleboro in their previous matchup on Wednesday, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Patriots since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
