The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Hampton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game.

Hampton might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from South Greene in their previous meeting on Monday.
