Evergreen has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Conifer, their loss dropped their record down to 13-9.
Saturday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Evergreen has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .461. However, it's not like Conifer struggles in that department as they've averaged .437. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
