The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Depew has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Bishop Timon-St. Jude struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Depew couldn't quite get it done against Bishop Timon-St. Jude in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 as they fell 11-7. Can the Wildcats avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
