Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Wednesday. Archbishop Murphy hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.8 home runs per game. However, it's not like Kamiak struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.4 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Archbishop Murphy might still be hurting after the 13-2 loss they got from Kamiak in their previous meeting back in April of 2021. Can the Wildcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
