Muir has gone a perfect 10-0 against Hoover recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Mustangs are taking a road trip to square off against the Tornados at 3:45 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Muir has four straight wins, Hoover has six straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Muir had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Hoover on Tuesday. The Mustangs were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Tornados. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.
