Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Thursday. Eastern Alamance hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.8 home runs per game. However, it's not like Orange struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.7 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Eastern Alamance took their victory against Orange in their previous matchup back in March by a conclusive 7-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
