The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Susquehannock has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 11.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Kennard-Dale struggles in that department as they've been averaging 12.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Susquehannock couldn't quite finish off Kennard-Dale when the teams last played back in April and fell 4-2. Will the Warriors have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
