Wednesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Edinburgh hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .393. However, it's not like Tri struggles in that department as they've averaged .351. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
