Vision's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Melba has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.5 hits per game. It's a different story for Vision, though, as they've been averaging 10.2 hits. Given Melba's sizable advantage in that area, Vision will need to find a way to close that gap.
Melba got the 'W' in their previous meeting two weeks ago against Vision by a conclusive 20-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
