Alexander and United are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Bulldogs will be playing in front of their home fans against the Longhorns at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Alexander's pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so United's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Ramon De Alba spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned runs on eight hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Hector Cadena, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Juan Charles, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
United always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .552. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Laredo LBJ only posted an OBP of .333.
