Brown hasn't had much luck against Moore recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Bears will challenge the Mustangs at 5:00 p.m. Brown knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Moore likes a good challenge.
On Wednesday, Brown made easy work of Western and carried off a 10-4 win. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won 11 contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Quinn Gallagher made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. Those 12 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.

Monday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Brown has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .532. However, it's not like Moore struggles in that department as they've averaged .492. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
