Monday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Birmingham hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .345. However, it's not like Chaminade struggles in that department as they've averaged .333. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Birmingham couldn't quite get it done against Chaminade when the teams last played back in February of 2025 as they fell 10-5. Can the Patriots avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
