The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. St. George's has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Belmont Hill struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
St. George's might still be hurting after the 14-1 defeat they got from Belmont Hill in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can the Dragons avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
