Jones has won three straight games at home, while Sinton has won three straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Trojans will welcome the Pirates at 7:00 p.m. After the two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one won't be so lucky on Friday.
Jones had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Rockport-Fulton on Tuesday. The Trojans were the clear victors by a 10-1 margin over the Pirates.
Davyn Perez made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. Those 14 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. He has become a key player for Jones: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 5-10-1 otherwise.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Tyler Lang, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and four RBI. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Trip Munoz, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sinton). Their pitchers stepped up to hand Ingleside a 13-0 shutout on Tuesday. The Pirates' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last three matchups.
Kash Wood was incredible, scoring a run while going 2-for-2. Another player making a difference was Karsen McCoy, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
Sinton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .621. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Sinton is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.9 runs over those games. As for Jones, their victory ended a six-game drought on the road and puts them at 7-11-1.
Jones might still be hurting after the 9-2 loss they got from Sinton in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Will the Trojans have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
