The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. North Penn-Liberty has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10.1 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Williamson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.1 strikeouts.
