Baseball Recap: Hughes Springs Now 8-1 over Last Nine Games

Hughes Springs had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Jefferson on Tuesday. Hughes Springs put the hurt on Jefferson with a sharp 13-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won nine matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Hughes Springs is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.9 runs over those games. Jefferson is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-11-1.

Hughes Springs will have a chance to go back-to-back against Jefferson: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
