Wayne has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Geneva struggles in that department as they've been averaging 9.1 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
