The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Canton has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.9 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like East Windsor struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7.1 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Everything went Canton's way against East Windsor when the teams last played back in May of 2023, as Canton made off with a 14-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
