Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Page hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.9 home runs per game. However, it's not like Independence struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.7 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Page was able to grind out a solid victory over Independence in their previous matchup on April 1st, winning 7-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Patriots since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
