Box Elder's win was their 18th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 26-3. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.6 runs over those games.

Tuesday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Box Elder has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .528. However, it's not like Olympus struggles in that department as they've averaged .479. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Box Elder skirted past Olympus 1-0 in their previous matchup back in May of 2018. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bees since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
