Tuesday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Woodlan hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .412. However, it's not like Heritage struggles in that department as they've averaged .331. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Woodlan came out on top in a nail-biter against Heritage in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
