Both Weslaco East and Porter just can't seem to miss. The Wildcats have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.8 hits per game. However, it's not like Porter struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.4 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Weslaco East beat Porter 9-4 when the teams last played back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
