The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Holy Names Academy has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Roosevelt struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Holy Names Academy might still be hurting after the 15-2 defeat they got from Roosevelt in their previous meeting back in May of 2025. Can Holy Names Academy avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
