Leakey has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Brackett Tigers at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Leakey knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with flashy run totals in its past five contests -- so hopefully Brackett likes a good challenge.
