The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Como Park has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Harding struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Como Park's way against Harding when the teams last played back in May of 2024, as Como Park made off with a 13-3 win.
