Shenandoah's win was their 15th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 18-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Winchester Community has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Shenandoah struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
