The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Brownsburg has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.4 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Avon struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.3 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Brownsburg was able to grind out a solid victory over Avon in their previous meeting back in May, winning 6-1. Will the Bulldogs repeat their success, or do the Orioles have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
