The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. College Park has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Rocklin struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
