Caston's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Logansport has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.8 hits per game. It's a different story for Caston, though, as they've been averaging 8.9 hits. Given Logansport's sizable advantage in that area, the Comets will need to find a way to close that gap.
