The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Aldine has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like MacArthur struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 5.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Aldine skirted past MacArthur 5-4 in their previous meeting back in March of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
