The Stanley-Boyd Orioles will square off against the Cadott Hornets at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Stanley-Boyd has five straight victories, Cadott has eight straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Stanley-Boyd barely beat McDonell Central the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Orioles were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the Macks on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Orioles, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.
