Thursday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Carson has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .505. However, it's not like San Pedro struggles in that department as they've averaged .454. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Carson's way against San Pedro in their previous matchup back in March, as Carson made off with a 10-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Colts since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
