Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Thursday. Orange Beach hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like T.R. Miller struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.4 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Everything went Orange Beach's way against T.R. Miller in their previous meeting back in March, as Orange Beach made off with a 16-4 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Makos since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
