The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Covina has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Wilson struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
