Meanwhile, Cowanesque Valley hadn't done well against Wellsboro recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday.

Cowanesque Valley pushed their record up to 8-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Canton, their record is now 3-7.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Canton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Cowanesque Valley struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Canton might still be hurting after the 12-4 defeat they got from Cowanesque Valley in their previous meeting back in March. Can the Warriors avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
