The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Magdalena has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Logan struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.9. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Magdalena came up short against Logan in their previous meeting back in June of 2021, falling 9-5. Thankfully for Magdalena, Gabe Milakovich (who struck out eight batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk)) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
