The Weiss Wolves will be playing at home against the Hutto Hippos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Weiss is strutting in with some hitting muscle, as they've averaged 7.4 runs per game this season.
Weiss is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Midway just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Tuesday. They took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Panthers. Weiss has not had much luck with Midway recently, as the team's come up short the last three times they've met.

Friday's matchup will be a test for both team's pitchers. Weiss hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .354. However, it's not like Hutto struggles in that department as they've averaged .337. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
