The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Audubon has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Kingsway struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.8 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Audubon was able to grind out a solid victory over Kingsway in their previous meeting back in May of 2025, winning 5-2. Do the Green Wave have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Dragons turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
