The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Corry has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Conneaut Area struggles in that department as they've been averaging 9.2 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Corry was able to grind out a solid victory over Conneaut Area when the teams last played back in April, winning 6-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Beavers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
