Tate has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Pace, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-3.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Thursday. Tate hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.1 home runs per game. However, it's not like Pace struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.8 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Tate might still be hurting after the 8-0 loss they got from Pace when the teams last played back in February. Will the Aggies have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
