Key to the Game: Put it on the board— The Bees’ offense has been struggling over the past two games, getting shutout in both games against Somerset and Southern Maryland. With the team just one game behind Sugar Land in the wild card race, the Bees need their offense to break out in a big way tonight to keep the playoffs within reach.
