Lexington, KY - The Lexington Legends return to Legends Field this week for another pivotal matchup in the race of the South Division title.

After dispatching High Point previously, the Gastonia Ghost Peppers are the new challengers against Lexington for the division. Lexington leads the series against Gastonia this season 9-6, but the Ghost Peppers currently lead the division by 1.5 games after a tough road trip for the Legends. The last time Gastonia visited Lexington, the Legends swept the series 3-0.

With a six-game series this week, both teams have a chance to take a commanding control of the division whichever way the series should go. However home field advantage is strongly in favor of the Legends, who boast a league-best 30-15 record when they get to play in front of their home crowd.
