Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Wednesday. Immaculate hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.4 home runs per game. However, it's not like Bunnell struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.9 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Immaculate was able to grind out a solid victory over Bunnell in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, winning 6-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
