Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Olympia hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.6 home runs per game. However, it's not like Rogers struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Olympia might still be hurting after the 15-0 defeat they got from Rogers in their previous meeting back in May of 2025. Can the Bears avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
