Both both teams just can't seem to miss. Prescott has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.2 hits per game. However, it's not like Flagstaff struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.2. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
