Tuesday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Henry County has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .469. However, it's not like West Creek struggles in that department as they've averaged .458. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Henry County's way against West Creek in their previous meeting back in May of 2024, as Henry County made off with a 16-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Patriots since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
