Troy's defeat dropped their record down to 14-3. As for Lapwai, their loss dropped their record down to 2-12.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Troy has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 7.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Lapwai struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5.9. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Troy's way against Lapwai in their previous matchup back in April as Troy made off with a 16-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Troy since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
