Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Friday. Fremont hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like West Jordan struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.7 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Fremont came out on top in a nail-biter against West Jordan in their previous matchup back in May of 2022, sneaking past 7-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Silverwolves since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
