The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Gatewood has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Windsor Academy struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Gatewood took their win against Windsor Academy in their previous matchup back in August by a conclusive 13-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Gators since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
