Brownstown Central's win was their seventh straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-1. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Trinity Lutheran, they now have a losing record of 5-6.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Trinity Lutheran has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Brownstown Central struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
