The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Tri-City Christian has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Coastal Academy struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Tri-City Christian took their victory against Coastal Academy when the teams last played on April 4th by a conclusive 8-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
