Wiley ranks second in the league in batting average behind Bethesda’s Kobe Kato (Arizona) with a .375 batting average and trails only Big Train catcher Jacob Southern (Jacksonville) with 25 RBI’s.

First pitch is set for 7 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. It will be Halloween Night at the ballpark, and all fans dressed in costume will receive free admission.
