Whitehall's speedy runners might be the difference in Wednesday's contest. The Zephyrs have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Parkland, though, as they've been averaging only 0.4 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Whitehall continue to outrun the ball?
Whitehall beat Parkland 13-10 in their previous matchup back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Zephyrs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
