Softball Game Preview: Cisco Loboes vs. Bangs Dragons

The Cisco Loboes will venture away from home to take on the Bangs Dragons at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Bangs will be up against a hot Cisco team: the squad just extended their winning streak to five. The Loboes blew past Coleman 22-7 last Friday.

Meanwhile, Bangs made easy work of Ballinger on Friday and carried off an 18-8 victory. The win was nothing new for the Dragons as they're now sitting on seven straight.

The team relied heavily on Cheyenne Rush, who scored four runs and stole four bases while going 5-for-5. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Stormy Stringer, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.

Bangs always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ballinger only posted an OBP of .455.

Bangs' victory was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 19-6. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Cisco, their victory bumped their record up to 11-2.

Cisco was able to grind out a solid win over Bangs in their previous matchup back in March, winning 10-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Loboes since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
