Glacier will roll into the match after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs on Saturday, then bounced right back against Capital on Saturday. The Wolfpack's pitchers stepped up to hand the Bruins a 17-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Wolfpack, who have now won eight contests by ten runs or more so far this season.

Glacier has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Hellgate, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-12.
Hellgate's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Glacier has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.9 hits per game. It's a different story for Hellgate, though, as they've been averaging 10.6 hits. Given Glacier's sizable advantage in that area, the Knights will need to find a way to close that gap.
Glacier took their win against Hellgate when the teams last played back in April by a conclusive 11-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolfpack since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
