C.H. Yoe is 2-8 against Lexington since March of 2017 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. The C.H. Yoe Yoemen will challenge the Lexington Eagles at 6:00 p.m. C.H. Yoe is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.4 runs per game this season.

C.H. Yoe is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to ten runs on Saturday, they were much more limited against Lexington on Tuesday. They fell 4-1 to the Eagles. The matchup marked the Yoemen's lowest-scoring game so far this season.

For Lexington's part, Taylor Akin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on two hits and racked up seven Ks. Akin has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Aubrie Mathews, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2. Maya Bell also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.

Lexington hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as C.H. Yoe struck out seven times.

Lexington is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. C.H. Yoe's loss dropped their record down to 8-6.

Both C.H. Yoe and Lexington just can't seem to miss. C.H. Yoe has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.4 hits per game. However, it's not like Lexington struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.2 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
