Morrison is 0-6 against Alleman since April of 2015 but things could change on Friday. The Mustangs will face off against the Pioneers at 4:30 p.m. Morrison is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.4 runs per game this season.
Morrison was handed a six-run defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Wednesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Amboy, sneaking past 2-1. The Mustangs haven't had any issues with the Clippers recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
Carson White made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits.

Alleman's win bumped their record up to 26-9. As for Morrison, their victory bumped their record up to 11-9.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Morrison has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Alleman struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Morrison couldn't quite get it done against Alleman in their previous matchup back in May of 2024 as they fell 7-2. Can the Mustangs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
