Tuesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Coeur d'Alene hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .384. However, it's not like Lakeland struggles in that department as they've averaged .364. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Coeur d'Alene beat Lakeland 7-3 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Vikings since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
