Bucyrus' pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Mohawk has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 11.4 hits per game. It's a different story for Bucyrus, though, as they've been averaging 10.4 hits. Given Mohawk's sizable advantage in that area, the Redmen will need to find a way to close that gap.
Mohawk got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April against Bucyrus by a conclusive 30-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
