Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Logan hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .338. However, it's not like Ridgeline struggles in that department as they've averaged .312. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Logan took their win against Ridgeline in their previous meeting back in March by a conclusive 13-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Grizzlies since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
