Thursday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Englewood has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .512. However, it's not like Riverside struggles in that department as they've averaged .517. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
