Tuesday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Weiss hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .329. However, it's not like Hendrickson struggles in that department as they've averaged .330. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Everything went Weiss' way against Hendrickson when the teams last played back in February of 2023, as Weiss made off with a 15-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Weiss since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
