Both Midlothian and Powhatan just can't seem to miss. The Trojans have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.4 hits per game. However, it's not like Powhatan struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.5 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Midlothian was able to grind out a solid win over Powhatan in their previous matchup back in March, winning 3-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Trojans since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
