At the plate, Steven Nicklas was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs. He 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. Riley Jackson also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Friday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Scotia-Glenville has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .439. However, it's not like Glens Falls struggles in that department as they've averaged .437. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
