Tristen Henderson was incredible, scoring a run and stealing six bases while going 2-for-2. Those two hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Hector Narvaez, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.

Meanwhile, after soaring to 16 runs the game before, Jefferson was a bit more limited in their game on Tuesday. They fell just short of Brackenridge by a score of 3-2. The Mustangs' defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.

Jefferson saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Aiden Urdiales, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3. Urdiales is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played.

Edison's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Jefferson, their loss dropped their record down to 12-12.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Edison has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Jefferson struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Edison came out on top in a nail-biter against Jefferson in their previous matchup back in March, sneaking past 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Golden Bears since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
