Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. Pitman has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.5 hits per game. However, it's not like Gregori struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 3.9. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Pitman might still be hurting after the 10-0 loss they got from Gregori in their previous meeting back in March.
