Hallettsville has gone a perfect 10-0 against Rice Consolidated recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Saturday. Hallettsville will be playing in front of their home fans against Rice Consolidated at 9:00 a.m. The timing is sure in Hallettsville's favor as the squad sits on 16 straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while Rice Consolidated has been banged up by three consecutive losses on the road.

Hallettsville is headed into the matchup having just posted their closest win since February 27th on Tuesday. They skirted past Tidehaven 5-4.

Grace Halata spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up seven Ks.

On the hitting side, Hallettsville saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Addison Matula, who scored a run while going 1-for-3. Matula also put up a double, which was her first of the season.

Meanwhile, Rice Consolidated fell victim to Edna and their airtight pitching crew on Tuesday. They lost 16-0 to the Cowboys.

Hallettsville is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. Rice Consolidated's defeat dropped their record down to 1-19.

Hallettsville took their win against Rice Consolidated in their previous meeting on March 4th by a conclusive 18-0. Does Hallettsville have another victory up their sleeve, or will Rice Consolidated turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
