Highland has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 17-10 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Benedictine, their win bumped their record up to 12-15.
Benedictine skirted past Highland 4-3 in their previous meeting back in April. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cadets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
