Wesclin is a perfect 3-0 against Roxana since May of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Warriors will take on the Shells at 4:30 p.m. Wesclin is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.6 runs per game this season.
Wesclin is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Centralia just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Monday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (8-7), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.
