Hull-Daisetta's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Evadale, the victory got them back to even at 6-6.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Evadale has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Hull-Daisetta struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Evadale got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 against Hull-Daisetta by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rebels since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
