Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Friday. Bishop Kelly hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.3 home runs per game. However, it's not like Skyview struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Everything went Bishop Kelly's way against Skyview when the teams last played last Thursday, as Bishop Kelly made off with a 10-4 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
