Tombstone pushed their record up to 4-4 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for St. David, their record now sits at 2-0.
Everything went St. David's way against Tombstone in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, as St. David made off with a 13-3 win.
