The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Cimarron-Memorial has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Legacy struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Cimarron-Memorial might still be hurting after the 17-7 defeat they got from Legacy when the teams last played back in March. Can the Spartans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
