Last Tuesday, Linden-Kildare made easy work of Pewitt and carried off a 14-2 win. Considering the Tigers have won six matches by more than eight runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Linden-Kildare has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-8 record this season.

Pewitt's loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 5-8.
Thursday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Linden-Kildare has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .465. However, it's not like Pewitt struggles in that department as they've averaged .511. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
