Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Sunday. Jesuit hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.2 home runs per game. However, it's not like Aloha struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Everything went Jesuit's way against Aloha when the teams last played two weeks ago, as Jesuit made off with a 12-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Crusaders since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
