Glen Allen is on a seven-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Godwin is on a 14-game streak of away wins (also dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. The Jaguars will host the Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Glen Allen 1.8, Godwin 0.8) so any runs scored will be well earned.

The Jaguars blew past the Tigers 10-1. The Jaguars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matches by nine runs or more this season.
