Monday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Cascade hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .315. However, it's not like Riverdale struggles in that department as they've averaged .467. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Cascade might still be hurting after the 18-4 defeat they got from Riverdale in their previous matchup back in April of 2021. Can Cascade avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
