Wednesday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Kentridge hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .325. However, it's not like Stadium struggles in that department as they've averaged .316. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Kentridge might still be hurting after the 11-5 defeat they got from Stadium in their previous meeting back in April. Will the Chargers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
