The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Cesar Chavez has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Shadow Ridge struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.6. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Thankfully for Cesar Chavez, Allison Lindsay (who fired off two home runs and three RBI while going 2-for-3) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
