The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Delta has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 9 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Greenfield-Central struggles in that department as they've been averaging 10.2 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Delta couldn't quite get it done against Greenfield-Central in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 as they fell 8-5. Can the Eagles avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
