The Smoky Mountain Mustangs will venture away from home to take on the Polk County Wolverines at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Smoky Mountain is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Brevard just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Wednesday.
