Softball Game Preview: Kinkaid Falcons vs. Cooper Dragons

For the first time this season, Kinkaid will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will venture away from home to square off against the Cooper Dragons at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Kinkaid has given up an average of 7.9 runs per game this season, but Tuesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Kinkaid's last matchup with HCYA could've gone either way, but unfortunately the same can't be said for the pair's matchup on Friday. Kinkaid came up short against HCYA, falling 18-5. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Falcons have suffered since April 24, 2024.

Meanwhile, Cooper waltzed into their game on Tuesday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They were the clear victors by a 17-1 margin over the Lions. That 16 run margin sets a new team best for the Dragons this season.

Cooper now has a winning record of 3-2-1. As for Kinkaid, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-4-1 record this season.

Kinkaid took their victory against Cooper in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 10-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for Kinkaid since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
