Wednesday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Sacred Heart hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .387.

Sacred Heart took their victory against Waggener when the teams last played back in March by a conclusive 19-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Valkyries since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
