Chiefland's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Trenton hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .344. It's a different story for Chiefland, though, as they've only averaged .252. Will they be able to contain Trenton's hitters?
Everything went Trenton's way against Chiefland when the teams last played back in March, as Trenton made off with a 9-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
