The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Robert C. Byrd has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Elkins struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Robert C. Byrd's way against Elkins in their previous matchup two weeks ago, as Robert C. Byrd made off with a 13-2 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
