Thursday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Harmony has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .464. However, it's not like Lake Nona struggles in that department as they've averaged .436. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Harmony came out on top in a nail-biter against Lake Nona when the teams last played back in March, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Longhorns since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
