Thursday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Alta hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .334. However, it's not like Skyline struggles in that department as they've averaged .318. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Alta came out on top in a nail-biter against Skyline in their previous matchup back in March, sneaking past 15-14. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hawks since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
