The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Old Orchard Beach has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Mount Abram struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 6.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
