Friday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Chapin has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .551. However, it's not like Canutillo struggles in that department as they've averaged .482. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Chapin took their victory against Canutillo in their previous matchup back in March by a conclusive 16-6 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Huskies since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
