Richfield's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Union has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.8 hits per game. It's a different story for Richfield, though, as they've been averaging 8.7 hits. Given Union's sizable advantage in that area, the Wildcats will need to find a way to close that gap.
Union came out on top in a nail-biter against Richfield in their previous meeting back in May of 2025, sneaking past 10-8. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
