The Hackberry Mustangs will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the LaGrange Gators at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. LaGrange took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Hackberry, who comes in off a win.
Hackberry had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 18-run drubbing they dealt Lake Charles College Prep on Tuesday. The Mustangs were the clear victors by a 21-3 margin over the Trailblazers.
Meanwhile, LaGrange unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 14-6 to Starks on Monday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it six in a row.
LaGrange saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Richelle Andino, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. Another was Peyton Wright, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Everything went Hackberry's way against LaGrange in their previous meeting back in March of 2023, as Hackberry made off with a 20-9 win. Do the Mustangs have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Gators turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
