The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. McDonald has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 13.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Springfield struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
McDonald was able to grind out a solid win over Springfield in their previous matchup back in April of 2025, winning 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Devils since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
