Barker has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.1 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Medina struggles in that department as they've been averaging 10.5 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Barker might still be hurting after the 16-0 loss they got from Medina in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. Will the Bulldogs have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
