Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Azle hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like Brewer struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.1 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Azle might still be hurting after the 14-6 defeat they got from Brewer when the teams last played back in March. Can the Hornets avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
