Monday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Ellington has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .523. However, it's not like Granby Memorial struggles in that department as they've averaged .461. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Ellington skirted past Granby Memorial 7-6 in their previous meeting last Friday. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
