The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Carlson has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Trenton struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Carlson might still be hurting after the 7-1 loss they got from Trenton when the teams last played back in May of 2023. Thankfully for Carlson, Alex Stepaniak (who struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk)) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
