Fryeburg's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: York hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .361. It's a different story for Fryeburg, though, as they've only averaged .253. Will they be able to contain York's hitters?
York beat Fryeburg 6-1 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
