However, it's not like Pendleton County struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Elkins got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 against Pendleton County by a conclusive 13-4 score. Do the Tigers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Wildcat turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
