Wednesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Bethany Community hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .333. However, it's not like Clover Garden School struggles in that department as they've averaged .461. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Bethany Community took their win against Clover Garden School when the teams last played back in March by a conclusive 10-0 score.
