The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Chariho has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like West Warwick struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Chariho's way against West Warwick in their previous meeting back in May of 2022, as Chariho made off with a 19-3 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Chargers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
