Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games. As for Wynford, their loss dropped their record down to 5-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Upper Sandusky has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Wynford struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
