Wednesday's contest will be a test for both team's pitchers. Hagerstown hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .357. However, it's not like Centerville 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.
Hagerstown couldn't quite finish off Centerville in their previous meeting back in April of 2023 and fell 5-3.
