The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Estero has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Gulf Coast struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Estero took their win against Gulf Coast in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 11-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
