However, it's not like Selinsgrove struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.8.

Hughesville came out on top in a nail-biter against Selinsgrove in their previous matchup back in May of 2019, sneaking past 5-3. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Selinsgrove's Ryan Reich, who struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits.
