The Perry Ramblers will venture away from home to square off against the Dansville Aggies at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Perry's pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so Dansville's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
While Perry's victory against Webberville wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Ramblers never let the Spartans get on the board and left with a 1-0 win on Wednesday. The victory continues a trend for the Ramblers in their matchups with the Spartans: they've now won five in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dansville). They blew past Morrice 21-0 on Wednesday. Winning may never get old, but the Aggies sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.

Dansville pushed their record up to 14-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Perry, their record is now 7-2.
