The Kendrick Cherokees will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Hardaway Hawks at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Kendrick is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They lost 11-3 to Spencer on Tuesday. The loss leaves the Cherokees without a win on the season.
Meanwhile, Hardaway got the win against Spencer on Monday by a conclusive 12-1. The result was nothing new for the Hawks, who have now won four contests by 11 runs or more so far this season.
Kei'Mayah Neal was a standout: she scored two runs and stole five bases while going 1-for-1. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stolen at least one in the last seven games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Daisia Crutchfield, who scored two runs and stole five bases while getting on base in both of her plate appearances.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Hardaway always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of 1.000. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Kendrick might still be hurting after the 28-1 defeat they got from Hardaway in their previous matchup back in September of 2021. Can Kendrick avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
