Braddock has gone a perfect 10-0 against Coral Park recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Bulldogs will head out to challenge the Rams at 3:30 p.m. Braddock is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.6 runs per game this season.

While Braddock's win against Ferguson wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Bulldogs narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Falcons 12-10. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Bulldogs considering their two-run performance the matchup before.

Catherine Fuerte and Anelis Goberna did most of the damage at the plate: Fuerte scored a run while going 1-for-3, while Goberna scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Braelen Cintron was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one RBI.

Braddock always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .550. They are a perfect 9-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

Meanwhile, after soaring to 21 runs the game before, Coral Park was a bit more limited in their contest on Tuesday. They lost 18-2 to Homestead. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since March 8, 2023, but that streak is no more.

Braddock is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.2 runs over those games. As for Coral Park, their loss dropped their record down to 6-11.

Everything went Braddock's way against Coral Park in their previous meeting back in February, as Braddock made off with a 14-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
