Sumner has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. Alonso's loss dropped their record down to 6-3.
Sumner beat Alonso 3-0 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sumner since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
