Montgomery extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping them down to 6-8. They fell 4-1 to the Hicks Pirates. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Tigers of the 6-2 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in February of 2025.
As for Hicks, their win was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games.
