Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Lakeview hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .324. However, it's not like Immaculate struggles in that department as they've averaged .314. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Lakeview got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in May of 2018 against Immaculate by a conclusive 18-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bobcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
