The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Stockdale has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.3 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Clovis struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7.4 strikeouts.
