If Haskell was riding high fresh off their 7-1 takedown of Morris last Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Haymakers fell just short of the Stroud Tigers by a score of 4-3 on Friday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Haymakers of the 8-7 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2025.
Elias Gonzales spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks.
At the plate, Haskell saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ryker Porter, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run.
Haskell has also been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 15-7 record this season. As for Stroud, they pushed their record up to 23-9 with the win, which was their third straight on the road.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Haskell will welcome Okemah at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Stroud, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Stratford at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Tigers 3.7, the Bulldogs 3.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
