Deal threw 7.0 innings allowing 3 runs for the losing team. Bob Morris earned the win, while 22-year old right-handed pitcher Robbie Deal took the loss for Asheville. Picking up the save was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Luis Lucero.

With one out in the top of the ninth, Joe Adams had a game-changing hit. The Sand Gnats designated hitter slammed a 2-run single off Pete Mason, making the score 6-2, Savannah.

"We've got a great group of guys," Adams said, "and we're having fun right now."

The Tourists fall to 9-16 and continue their sputtering start to the 2026 season.
