The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Saturday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Buena Park has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Wiseburn- Da Vinci struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Buena Park beat Wiseburn- Da Vinci 5-2 when the teams last played back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Coyotes since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
