Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Borah hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.1 home runs per game. However, it's not like Centennial struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Borah took their win against Centennial when the teams last played back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lions since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
