Seneca kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ithaca). They put the hurt on La Farge with a sharp 20-0 victory on Monday. The win continues a trend for the Bulldogs in their matchups with the Wildcats: they've now won seven in a row.
Seneca's record is now 12-4. As for Ithaca, their record now sits at 10-3.
Seneca might still be hurting after the 9-3 loss they got from Ithaca in their previous meeting back in April. Can the Indians avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
