Thursday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Childress hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .367. However, it's not like Canadian struggles in that department as they've averaged .394. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Childress came out on top in a nail-biter against Canadian when the teams last played back in March, sneaking past 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bobcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
