The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Seminole has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Clearwater struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Everything went Seminole's way against Clearwater in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, as Seminole made off with a 10-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warhawks since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
