Wednesday's game will be a test for both team's pitchers. Bald Eagle Area hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .350. However, it's not like Central struggles in that department as they've averaged .378. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Bald Eagle Area might still be hurting after the 10-0 loss they got from Central when the teams last played back in May of 2022.
