The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Parker has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.5 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Mohave Accelerated struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7.1 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
