Meanwhile, Lowell stacked a 13th blowout win onto their ever-increasing hoard on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Lincoln a 16-0 shutout. The win was nothing new for Lowell as they're now sitting on five straight.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Galileo has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Lowell struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.8. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Galileo might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from Lowell in their previous meeting back in March. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Aoshima, who pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
