The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Riverside has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like ED White struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 10.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Riverside might still be hurting after the 12-0 loss they got from ED White when the teams last played back in February. Can the Generals avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
