Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Monday. Tate hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.1 home runs per game. However, it's not like Fort Walton Beach struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.7 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.

Tate came out on top in a nail-biter against Fort Walton Beach when the teams last played back in March of 2024, sneaking past 6-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Aggies since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
