In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Reed Conn, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Conemaugh Township has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.4 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Northern Cambria struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
