The Alvin Yellowjackets will venture away from home to take on the Dawson Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Alvin is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Manvel just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Friday. They fell just short of the Mavericks by a score of 6-5.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dawson). They never let Sam Rayburn get on the board and left with a 21-0 win on Friday. The Eagles have beaten the Texans the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Texans has come to flipping the script.
Braydon Hicks and Garritt Romero were a major factor while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Hicks tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Romero pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances. At bat, Hicks scored two runs while going 1-for-3, while Romero went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That home run was Romero's first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on David Alanis, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with six RBI, three runs, and one triple. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in hits (three). Brandon Gutierrez was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
Dawson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .652. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Dawson's victory was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-7. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Alvin, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-10.
Alvin suffered a grim 11-1 defeat to Dawson when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can the Yellowjackets avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
