Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Wednesday. Oak Harbor hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.8 home runs per game. However, it's not like Maumee struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.5 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Everything went Oak Harbor's way against Maumee in their previous matchup back in April, as Oak Harbor made off with an 8-2 win. 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.
