Geneseo is 1-9 against Avon since April of 2017 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. The Blue Devils will look to defend their home field against the Braves at 4:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Geneseo 1.1, Avon 1.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
