Tokay's win was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-8.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. McNair has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Tokay struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
McNair might still be hurting after the 8-0 defeat they got from Tokay in their previous matchup back in March. Will the Eagles have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
