The Kress Kangaroos will face off against the Olton Mustangs at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Olton took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Kress, who comes in off a win.
Kress was handed a ten-run defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Thursday. They skirted past Post 9-7. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Kangaroos have posted since March 9, 2024.
Meanwhile, Olton didn't have quite enough to beat Floydada on Tuesday and fell 9-8.
Olton has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-7 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games. Kress' win ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-4.
Kress might still be hurting after the 14-3 loss they got from Olton when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Will Kress have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
