The Kinder Yellowjackets are taking a road trip to square off against the Sulphur Golden Tors at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Kinder's pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so Sulphur's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Sulphur will be up against a hot Kinder squad: the team just extended their winning streak to three. The Yellowjackets came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 5-4 W against Barbe.
Brianna Fontenot spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances.

Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games.

Kinder came out on top in a nail-biter against Sulphur in their previous matchup back in March of 2024, sneaking past 10-8. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Yellowjackets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
