The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Chamberlain has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Freedom struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Chamberlain skirted past Freedom 3-1 in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Will Chamberlain repeat their success, or does Freedom have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
