Bogan is a perfect 4-0 against King since May of 2017 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Bengals will take on the Jaguars at 4:30 p.m. Bogan is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.4 runs per game this season.
Bogan is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Agricultural Science just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell 9-4 to the Cyclones.

Tuesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Bogan hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .425. However, it's not like King struggles in that department as they've averaged .317. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
