Harrisburg comes in to the weekend having played Washington on Thursday, sweeping the Warriors in a doubleheader and are 20-4 overall, 12-2 in the state on a seven game winning streak. The Tigers are second in the standings behind only Brandon Valley while Pierre is in fifth place heading into the weekend.
