Monday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Lawrence Academy has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .460. However, it's not like Northeast Academy struggles in that department as they've averaged .464. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Lawrence Academy's way against Northeast Academy when the teams last played back in March, as Lawrence Academy made off with a 19-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
