Everman is 0-8 against Joshua since March of 2015 but things could change on Tuesday. Everman will head out to take on Joshua at 5:30 p.m. Everman has given up an average of 14.1 runs per game this season, but Tuesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Friday just wasn't the day for Everman's offense. They came up short against Cleburne last Friday, falling 15-0. The Bulldogs' loss continues a trend for the squad, making it five in a row.
Meanwhile, Joshua had just enough and edged out Grandview 8-7 on Thursday.
The team relied heavily on Baylee Jones, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. Shyanne Strawn was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
Jones wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Joshua kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since the start of last season.
Joshua has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-9 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. Everman's defeat dropped their record down to 2-13-1.
Everman might still be hurting after the 14-4 loss they got from Joshua in their previous meeting back in April of 2018. Can Everman avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
