The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. McGehee has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 13.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Woodlawn struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
