The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Plainfield has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.4 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Indian Creek struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.3 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Everything went Plainfield's way against Indian Creek when the teams last played back in May of 2024, as Plainfield made off with a 10-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Quakers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
