Greenwood's hitters will have their work cut out for them on Thursday. Susquenita has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.4 strikeouts per game. It's a different story for Greenwood, though, as they've been averaging only 4 strikeouts. Will Susquenita keep running through batters, or will the Wildcats buck the trend?
Everything went Susquenita's way against Greenwood in their previous matchup two weeks ago, as Susquenita made off with an 18-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blackhawks since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
