The Cuero Gobblers will head out on the road to square off against the Pearsall Mavericks at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Cuero is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.5 runs per game this season.
Cuero is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Goliad just ended the team's seven-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of the Tigers by a score of 9-8.

Considering the Mavericks have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Kristen Morales made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

Pearsall was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .562. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .320 or higher in six consecutive matches.
Pearsall's record is now 20-10-1. As for Cuero, their loss dropped their record down to 19-6-1.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Thursday. Cuero hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like Pearsall struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Cuero was able to grind out a solid victory over Pearsall when the teams last played back in February of 2024, winning 11-7. Do the Gobblers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Mavericks turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
