Wray always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .632. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Wray's record is now 13-2. As for Wiggins, their loss dropped their record down to 9-9.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Wiggins has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Wray struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Wiggins might still be hurting after the 15-5 defeat they got from Wray in their previous meeting back in April of 2025. Can the Tigers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
