Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Wednesday. Tremont hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Everything went Tremont's way against Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, as Tremont made off with an 8-2 victory.
