Baseball Game Preview: Latexo Tigers vs. Lovelady Lions

Latexo hasn't had much luck against Lovelady recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Latexo Tigers face off against Lovelady Lions at 7:00 p.m. Neither Latexo nor Lovelady posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.

Last Tuesday, Latexo didn't have quite enough to beat Neches and fell 3-2.

Jax Bobbitt was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. MJ Woodard also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.

Meanwhile, Saturday just wasn't the day for Lovelady's offense. They lost 10-0 to Bosqueville on Saturday. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Lions, who until this match were averaging 4.06 runs allowed.

Lovelady has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-7-1 record this season. Latexo's defeat dropped their record down to 5-7.

Latexo suffered a grim 21-3 defeat to Lovelady in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can Latexo avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
