Both Tullahoma and Shelbyville Central just can't seem to miss. The Wildcats have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 8.7 hits per game.

With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Tullahoma skirted past Shelbyville Central 5-4 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
