The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Thursday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Routt Catholic has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Quincy struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Routt Catholic was able to grind out a solid win over Quincy in their previous meeting back in March of 2025, winning 8-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rockets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
