Springville has won five straight games at home, while Maple Mountain has won five straight on the road dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Monday. The Red Devils will host the Golden Eagles at 3:30 p.m. Springville will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each matchup than the last.
Springville is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Timpview just ended the team's seven-game winning streak on Friday. They fell just short of the Thunderbirds by a score of 13-12.
