The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Woodlan has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Churubusco struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Woodlan skirted past Churubusco 7-6 when the teams last played back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
