South Sevier's record is now 17-5. As for Millard, their loss dropped their record down to 3-18.
South Sevier's speedy runners might be the difference in Friday's game. The Rams have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Millard, though, as they've been averaging only 1.3 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will South Sevier continue to outrun the ball?
South Sevier took their victory against Millard when the teams last played on Tuesday by a conclusive 13-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rams since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
