Tuesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Chadron hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .351. However, it's not like Scottsbluff struggles in that department as they've averaged .318. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Chadron couldn't quite get it done against Scottsbluff in their previous meeting two weeks ago as they fell 6-3. Will the Cardinals have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
