Wednesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Sissonville hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .344. However, it's not like Independence struggles in that department as they've averaged .379. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Sissonville came out on top in a nail-biter against Independence when the teams last played back in May of 2021, sneaking past 2-1.
