Can the Trojans Upset the Crusaders?

While an upset is a long shot, the Lincoln Trojans will be aiming to defy expectations.

Expect a convincing victory for Pensacola Catholic if they continue their offensive onslaught and strong pitching, but a closer game with a potential upset chance for Lincoln if they can find a defensive edge and capitalize on any scoring opportunities.
