Manchester's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's match. The Greyhounds have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Peebles, though, as they've been averaging only 0.1 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Manchester continue to outrun the ball?
Manchester took their win against Peebles in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 11-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Greyhounds since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
