The Bucks look for a sweep in the series finale today and to continue their perfect mark. The Bucks won on Saturday after scoring three in the 7th inning and ended up winning by one run, putting them at 4-0 on the year and the Stingers at 0-4. The Bucks offense stepped up to put up eight runs on ten hits, their most hits in a game for the season. The Bucks staple this season seems to continue to be their ability to draw walks as they walked seven times on Saturday, giving them a league-leading 27 walks on the year. This ability to wear down opposing pitchers as well as keep the offense going when they aren’t hitting as much will bode well in the future. The Bucks send Zach Pettiford to the mound after he pitched maybe the most impressive relief appearance of the year for the Bucks on opening night, while the Stingers send Michael Shreves in his first appearance of the year.
