On Friday, Cotulla came up short against Crystal City and fell 6-2.
Eli Renteria was huge no matter where he played even without the win. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. What's more, he gave up only zero earned runs, the fewest he's had since back in February of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. That home run was his first of the season.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Dilley and Natalia meet (five straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Friday. The Wolves lost 18-3 to the Mustangs. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Wolves have suffered against the Mustangs since March 31, 2023.
Dilley saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jerry Franklin, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
Dilley's defeat dropped their record down to 2-10. As for Cotulla, their loss dropped their record down to 3-16-1.
Everything went Cotulla's way against Dilley in their previous meeting back in April of 2025, as Cotulla made off with a 12-2 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cowboys since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
