Wednesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Seattle Christian has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .515. However, it's not like Vashon Island struggles in that department as they've averaged .456. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Everything went Seattle Christian's way against Vashon Island in their previous meeting back in April, as Seattle Christian made off with a 31-0 win.
