The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Mogollon has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Baboquivari struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 11.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
