Cedar's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They came out on top against Hurricane by a score of 4-0. While the Reds didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-21), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Cedar got a great performance from Brent Martin as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over 6.2 innings pitched. Martin has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.

Cedar has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season.

Hurricane's defeat was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 6-5.

Hurricane's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Cedar hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .315. It's a different story for Hurricane, though, as they've only averaged .212. Will they be able to contain Cedar's hitters?
