Empire saw some tournament action on Friday. They fell just short of Coconino by a score of 9-8.

Empire has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season. Tombstone's loss dropped their record down to 8-3-1.
Tuesday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Empire has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .435.
