The Bucks start a three-games in three nights stretch Friday night as they sit three points back of Arizona for the final playoff spot in the Berry Conference, the team they will host Sunday.
Laredo lost a hard-fought 4-3 game to first-place Allen Tuesday night to extend their home winless streak to six games (0-5-1). The Bucks have not won at home since January 14th when they shutout the Bees 7-0.
The first-ever Cricket Mayor's Cup comes down to the final two meetings between the Bucks and Bees, with the Bees leading the race 17 points to 15. Laredo needs to win both games this weekend against Rio Grande Valley to claim the Cup, while the Bees need just one victory to hoist the trophy.
The Bees have lost three straight games, all at home, to remain five points back of Mississippi for fifth place in the conference. Rio Grande Valley is six points ahead of Laredo in the standings with the Bucks having two games in hand over the Bees.
The Bucks and Bees will close out their regular season series Saturday night at State Farm Arena. Game time is 7:30pm.
