The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Jackson has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.4 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Kamiak struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Jackson might still be hurting after the 6-0 defeat they got from Kamiak in their previous meeting last Monday. Can the Timberwolves avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
