The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. St. Stanislaus has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Seminary struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7.9 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
St. Stanislaus took their win against Seminary when the teams last played back in May of 2023 by a conclusive 9-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rock-a-Chaws since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
