The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Harker has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Priory struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
