Thursday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Nimitz hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .409. However, it's not like Dekaney struggles in that department as they've averaged .412. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Nimitz took their victory against Dekaney when the teams last played back in March by a conclusive 20-11 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
