Carroll is 9-1 against Gregory-Portland since April of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Saturday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Carroll Tigers duke it out with Gregory-Portland Wildcats at 12:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Carroll 1.8, Gregory-Portland 2.6) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Gregory-Portland will be up against a hot Carroll team: the squad just extended their winning streak to four. Carroll came out on top against Flour Bluff by a score of 5-2 on Tuesday.
Carroll let Graciela Recio and Talina Valdez run wild. Recio went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double, while Valdez scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3. That's the most RBI Recio has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaeleigh Mendez, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Gregory-Portland got themselves on the board against Corpus Christi Moody on Tuesday, but Corpus Christi Moody never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Trojans with a sharp 10-0 victory. Considering the Wildcats have won 12 contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Audrey Diercks was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. Furthermore, she didn't allow a single earned run, the first time she has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
In other batting news, Elizabeth Keith was excellent, scoring a run while going 2-for-4. Alyssa Castro was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
Gregory-Portland kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matches.
Gregory-Portland is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.3 runs over those games. Carroll pushed their record up to 19-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road.
Saturday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Carroll hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .433. However, it's not like Gregory-Portland struggles in that department as they've averaged .395. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
