Galway's victory was their 19th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 19-3. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Stillwater, their record now sits at 12-6.
Stillwater came out on top in a nail-biter against Galway in their previous meeting back in May of 2023, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
