The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Idaho Falls has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 6.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Thunder Ridge struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Idaho Falls got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April of 2022 against Thunder Ridge by a conclusive 10-0 score. Do the Tigers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Titans turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
