The Grace Christian Academy Lions will head out on the road to challenge the Potter Valley Bearcats at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Grace Christian Academy has seven straight wins, Potter Valley has five straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Grace Christian Academy had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Laytonville on Tuesday. The Lions were the clear victors by a 10-1 margin over the Warriors. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won three contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
