The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Thursday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Logansport has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.3 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Northwestern struggles in that department as they've been averaging 9 strikeouts.
