Brief History:
Limestone and Coker have built a competitive rivalry over recent seasons. In the last 10 matchups, the Saints are 4-6. Earlier this season, Limestone claimed a close 7-4 win on the road against Coker, which helped the Saints secure a key series win over the Cobras.

The Saints:
Limestone enters the matchup looking to continue its hot streak after a series sweep of UVA Wise. Offensively, the Saints are powered by Ben Partridge, who leads the team in RBIs, and Zach Greenberg, who has been a consistent producer at the plate and in the field. On the mound, Kemper Nix and Colt Wilkins have emerged as key arms down the stretch, combining for solid innings and clutch strikeouts in recent series. The Saints will look to capitalize on key scoring opportunities.

The Cobras:
Coker comes in looking to spoil Limestone's postseason run. The Cobras are led at the plate by Jaylen Mack, who leads the team in batting average and RBIs. On the mound, Cody Chapman anchors the rotation with 52 strikeouts over 46.1 innings pitched. After a dominant series against Tusculum, the Cobras aim to carry that momentum into tonight's game.
