Meanwhile, Crimson Cliffs sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-6 win over Hurricane on Friday.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Desert Hills has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Crimson Cliffs struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Desert Hills skirted past Crimson Cliffs 4-2 in their previous matchup back in March of 2025. Will the Thunder repeat their success, or do the Mustangs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
