The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Tri-County has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like North Newton struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Tri-County was able to grind out a solid win over North Newton in their previous matchup back in April, winning 5-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cavaliers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
