Wednesday's match will be a test for both team's pitchers. Indian Hill hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .460.

Indian Hill might still be hurting after the 24-0 loss they got from Taylor when the teams last played back in April of 2023. Thankfully for Indian Hill, Karlie Burdick (who scored three runs and stole a base while going 4-for-4) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
