The Poly Bears will challenge the Clovis Cougars at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Poly's pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so Clovis' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Poly had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Banning on Friday. Poly blew past Banning 12-3. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won six matches by six runs or more so far this season.
