The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Philo has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Maysville struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Philo was able to grind out a solid victory over Maysville when the teams last played back in April, winning 6-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Electrics since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
