The Gaylord Blue Devils will head out on the road to face off against the Petoskey Northmen at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Gaylord's pitching crew has only allowed 2.7 runs per game this season, so Petoskey's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Gaylord is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Inland Lakes just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Wednesday. They and the Bulldogs finished up their match with a 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile, Petoskey came into Friday's game having lost three straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They were the clear victors by a 14-3 margin over Big Rapids on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Northmen, who have now won eight contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Petoskey's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-5. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. Gaylord's tie makes their record 8-3-2 this season.
Gaylord came out on top in a nail-biter against Petoskey when the teams last played back in May of 2024, sneaking past 5-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Devils since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
