Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. LaPoynor has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .497. However, it's not like Cayuga struggles in that department as they've averaged .461. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
LaPoynor skirted past Cayuga 5-3 in their previous meeting back in April of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Flyers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
