Adams City's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Gateway hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .399. It's a different story for Adams City, though, as they've only averaged .251. Will they be able to contain Gateway's hitters?
Gateway might still be hurting after the 13-3 defeat they got from Adams City when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Can the Olympians avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
