The scorekeeper got an easy start on Tuesday as neither Angleton nor Friendswood made it on the board until the fifth inning. The Wildcats took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Mustangs. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Mustangs this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 4-1 back in March.
Isabella Nava spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Angleton saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ambrielle Linscombe, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one double. That double marked the first that Linscombe has hit this season.
This is the second loss in a row for Angleton and nudges their season record down to 16-14-1. As for Friendswood, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-7 record this season.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Angleton will square off against rival Texas City at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Friendswood is set to face off against their familiar foe Ball at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
