Thursday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Halls hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .338. However, it's not like Powell struggles in that department as they've averaged .386. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Halls beat Powell 5-1 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Red Devils since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
