Thursday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Leon has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .437. However, it's not like Godby struggles in that department as they've averaged .457. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Leon was able to grind out a solid victory over Godby in their previous matchup back in February, winning 7-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Leon since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
