Manchester's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-4. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Peebles, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-9.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Peebles has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Manchester struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
