Yoakum is 1-6 against La Vernia since March of 2018 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. The Yoakum Bulldogs will look to defend their home pitch against the La Vernia Bears at 7:00 p.m. Yoakum's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for seven straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Yoakum fell victim to Fox Tech's stalwart defense on Saturday and couldn't make it onto the board. They fell 2-0 to the Buffaloes. That's two games in a row now that Yoakum has lost by exactly two goals.
Meanwhile, La Vernia has not lost a match since January 26th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Friday. They and John F. Kennedy finished up their match with a 1-1 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time La Vernia has been dealt a draw since back in January.
Their goal came courtesy of
Ryan Cox, who's now up to two this season.
Yoakum's loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 0-7. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only scored zero goals over those three matchups. La Vernia's draw gives them a new season record of 14-3-2.
Yoakum might still be hurting after the 8-0 defeat they got from La Vernia in their previous matchup back in March of 2023. Can Yoakum avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
