Pullman pushed their record up to 11-8 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Asotin, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 14 of their last 15 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-18 record this season.

Asotin's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Pullman has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .531. It's a different story for Asotin, though, as they've only averaged .340. Will they be able to contain Pullman's hitters?

Pullman beat Asotin 11-7 when the teams last played back in April of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Greyhounds since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
