SVS vs CHT pitch report for 3rd and 7th Playoff
The pitch at the Morgan Hills Outdoor Sports Complex is good for batting, and batters truly enjoy batting since the ball comes off the bat nicely. There should be some early movement with the new ball, which will keep batters on their toes. Over time, the ball will grip the surface more accurately, making it easier for bowlers to use their variations. Anything above 170 could be a par score.
