Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Saturday. Syracuse hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1 home runs per game. However, it's not like Riverton struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.4 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Syracuse might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from Riverton when the teams last played back in April of 2021. Can the Titans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
