Meanwhile, New Oxford posted their closest victory since April 2nd on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Eastern York 4-3. The Colonials haven't had any issues with the Golden Knights recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive win against them.
New Oxford's victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Gavin Haifley, who went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and one run. Haifley is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Ayden Tracey also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
New Oxford's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-4. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.7 runs over those games. As for Susquehannock, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-7 record this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Susquehannock has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like New Oxford struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 5.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Susquehannock couldn't quite get it done against New Oxford when the teams last played on April 9th as they fell 8-3. Can the Warriors avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
