Centennial's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-6-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.7 runs over those games. As for Ironwood, their record is now 7-9.
Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Centennial hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .453. However, it's not like Ironwood struggles in that department as they've averaged .387. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
