The Ruston Bearcats will venture away from home to take on the Ouachita Christian Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Ruston's pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so Ouachita Christian's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Ruston is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Alexandria just ended the team's 14-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of the Trojans by a score of 2-1.
Meanwhile, Ouachita Christian didn't have quite enough to beat West Monroe on Friday and fell 5-4. That's two games in a row now that the Eagles have lost by just one run.
Ouachita Christian has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-13 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. Ruston's loss was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 6-1 and their overall record down to 21-7.
Ruston might still be hurting after the 10-4 defeat they got from Ouachita Christian in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can Ruston avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
