The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Centaurus has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Mead struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Centaurus came up short against Mead when the teams last played back in April of 2025, falling 5-2. Will the Warriors have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
