Presidio has gone 8-2 against Kermit recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Blue Devils will take on the Yellow Jackets at 5:00 p.m. Presidio has given up an average of 15.2 runs per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Presidio came into their game on Friday off a hard-fought close win, but unfortunately suffered a serious change of fortune. They came up short against Alpine, falling 18-0. While getting shut out isn't ideal, the Blue Devils haven't been shut out since back in February.

Meanwhile, Kermit got the win against Anthony on Tuesday by a conclusive 25-2. The result was nothing new for the Yellow Jackets, who have now won 11 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Aliha Saenz made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She tossed two innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. Saenz was even better at the plate, scoring four runs while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances.

In other batting news, Kermit got a massive performance out of Isabella Urquidi, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, four RBI, and two doubles. That's the most runs Urquidi has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Mary Valenzuela, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs and four RBI.

Kermit hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least two batters in five consecutive contests.

Kermit has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.1 runs over those games. As for Presidio, their loss was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 3-13.

Friday's match might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Presidio has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .489. However, it's not like Kermit struggles in that department as they've averaged .571. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Presidio might still be hurting after the 19-4 defeat they got from Kermit in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Can the Blue Devils avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
