The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Moriah has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Northeastern Clinton struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Moriah came out on top in a nail-biter against Northeastern Clinton in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, sneaking past 7-5.
