On Tuesday, Legacy made easy work of Cimarron-Memorial and carried off an 18-3 victory. The Longhorns have beaten the Spartans the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Spartans has come to flipping the script.
Elena Rodriguez made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up three earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). Rodriguez was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aofia Noa, who scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.

Thursday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Legacy has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .471. However, it's not like Durango struggles in that department as they've averaged .598. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
