The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Christoval has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Eldorado struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Christoval was able to grind out a solid win over Eldorado in their previous matchup two weeks ago, winning 5-0. Do the Cougars have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Eagles turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
