Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Cascade has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .433. However, it's not like Indian Creek struggles in that department as they've averaged .453. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Cascade couldn't quite finish off Indian Creek in their previous matchup back in May of 2019 and fell 5-3. Can the Cadets avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
