The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Del Oro has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.8 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Sheldon struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.8 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Del Oro was able to grind out a solid victory over Sheldon in their previous meeting back in March, winning 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Golden Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
