If Santo was riding high fresh off their 12-1 takedown of Strawn last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. Santo lost 17-7 to the Graford Rabbits on Tuesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Wildcats of the 14-1 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in February of 2024.
Kamryn Castillo made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that she launched this season. Another player making a difference was Myranda Cain, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Santo has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-8 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. Graford's victory ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 6-6.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Santo is set to challenge their familiar foe Lipan at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Graford will square off against rival De Leon at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
