The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Parkview has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.9 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Bolles struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Parkview beat Bolles 8-5 in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. Will the Panthers repeat their success, or do the Bulldogs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
