The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. D.H. Conley has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Northern Nash struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
D.H. Conley skirted past Northern Nash 3-2 in their previous meeting back in April of 2016. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Vikings since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
