Cordova fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Coosa Christian on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 17-13 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Coosa Christian Conquerors. The Blue Devils were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Conquerors apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.
Nolan Archibald
Nolan Archibald was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Cordova is 2-1 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 1-4 otherwise.
At the plate, Jackson Stacks led a balanced group of hitters, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Lucas Vance, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
Even though they lost, Cordova kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Cordova has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season. Coosa Christian moved to 1-6 with that victory, which also ended their eight-game losing streak.
Coincidentally, Cordova and Coosa Christian will both be playing West Point the next time they take the field. Coosa Christian will host West Point at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, while Cordova will play them later in the day, at 11:00 a.m.
