The Southwest Trojans will hit the road for the first time this season to face off against the Billings Wildcats at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Southwest is leaving town to face Billings after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Southwest fell just short of Exeter by a score of 17-16 on Monday. The Trojans haven't had much luck with the Tigers recently, as the team has come up short the last five times they've met.
Kaleigh Tull led a balanced group of hitters, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-5. The team also got some help courtesy of Jacee Durossette, who went 4-for-6 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs.
Meanwhile, Billings had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 18-3 to Reeds Spring on Monday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.
Southwest came out on top in a nail-biter against Billings in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, sneaking past 22-21. The rematch might be a little tougher for Southwest since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
