Chesterton has gone a perfect 10-0 against Michigan City recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Trojans will look to defend their home field against the Wolves at 4:30 p.m. Chesterton is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.2 runs per game this season.

Michigan City's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Chesterton hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .337. It's a different story for Michigan City, though, as they've only averaged .224. Will they be able to contain Chesterton's hitters?
