Lizards Look for Sixth in a Row Against Rochester
The Long Island Lizards are currently on a five game win streak and sitting in second place in the league and they’d like to keep it that way. A loss by the Lizards (5-2) and a win by the Boston Cannons (5-3) would send the Lizards down to third place and possibly into fourth. A win against the Lizards would really help the Rochester Rattler’s playoff hopes. They are currently…
