The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Simeon has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Brooks struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Simeon took their victory against Brooks when the teams last played last Monday by a conclusive 16-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolverines since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
