Jefferson will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up one run on Tuesday, then bounced right back against Sam Houston on Thursday. The Mustangs' pitcher stepped up to hand the Hurricanes a 13-0 shutout. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by six runs or more this season.

Victor Carrillo-Sanchez tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. Those 11 strikeouts gave him a new career-high.

At the plate, Jefferson got a massive performance out of Dylan Caffey, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI. Aiden Urdiales was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Meanwhile, Lanier lost 19-10 to Highlands on Thursday. The Voks haven't had much luck with the Owls recently, as the team has come up short the last five times they've met.

Jefferson is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-9-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Lanier, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-14.

Everything went Jefferson's way against Lanier when the teams last played back in March, as Jefferson made off with a 14-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
