The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Owyhee has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Capital struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Owyhee came out on top in a nail-biter against Capital in their previous meeting back in May of 2025, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Storm since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
