Whitehall pushed their record up to 12-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.5 runs on average over those games. As for Emmaus, their record now sits at 15-3.
Both Whitehall and Emmaus just can't seem to miss. The Zephyrs have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.3 hits per game. However, it's not like Emmaus struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.2 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Whitehall came out on top in a nail-biter against Emmaus when the teams last played last Monday, sneaking past 8-7. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Zephyrs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
