If the Demons were looking for revenge after losing 11-0 to the Bulldogs when the teams met back in April of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Palisade, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games.
