Thursday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Roosevelt has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .461. However, it's not like Lincoln struggles in that department as they've averaged .445. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Roosevelt got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 against Lincoln by a conclusive 9-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Roughriders since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
