Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. Amery has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.2 hits per game. However, it's not like Grantsburg struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.1 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Amery came out on top in a nail-biter against Grantsburg in their previous matchup back in April of 2025, sneaking past 7-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
