However, it's not like Lincoln struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
San Ysidro might still be hurting after the 21-13 defeat they got from Lincoln in their previous meeting back in April of 2025. Will the Cougars have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
