The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Woden has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.1 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Shelbyville struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.2 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Woden might still be hurting after the 15-1 defeat they got from Shelbyville when the teams last played on March 3rd. Will the Eagles have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
