The More Knights will head out to square off against the Terra Nova Tigers at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (More 3.6, Terra Nova 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
More will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up two runs on Monday, then bounced right back against North Valley Baptist on Tuesday. The Knights blew past the Bulldogs 11-0. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by seven runs or more this season.
More got a massive performance out of Andrew Corr, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That triple marked the first that Corr hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Sean Selway, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.

They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 5-4 W against the Wildcats. Five seems to be a good number for the Tigers as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
The team relied heavily on Brody Finale, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Terra Nova's win was their eighth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-2-1.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. More has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Terra Nova struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
