Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Fremont hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.7 home runs per game. However, it's not like Davis struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.6. 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 Davis in their previous meeting on April 11th, sneaking past 7-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for Fremont since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
