Craig is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played. Darius Hall also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 12 runs the game before, Jackson-Olin was a bit more limited in their match on Tuesday. They lost 16-1 to Paul W. Bryant.
Huffman's loss dropped their record down to 9-12. As for Jackson-Olin, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-24.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Huffman has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 6.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Jackson-Olin struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 10.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Huffman couldn't quite get it done against Jackson-Olin in their previous meeting back in March as they fell 9-5. Can the Vikings avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
