Farmington's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's game. The Phoenix have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Syracuse, though, as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.1 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Farmington continue to outrun the ball?
