The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Woodland has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Eagle's Landing struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Woodland took their victory against Eagle's Landing in their previous matchup back in September by a conclusive 16-7 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolfpack since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
