Arbor View is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 10-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Reed, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-6 record this season.

Arbor View will take on Poly in a tournament on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Aggies 2.6, the Bears 3.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Reed, they will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on McQueen at 3:30 p.m. on the 31st. The Lancers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed ten runs per game on average), something the Raiders will no doubt try to take advantage of.
