The Morton Indians will head out on the road to take on the Crosbyton Chiefs at 11:00 a.m. on Friday.
Morton couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. Their rough 16-1 defeat to Crosbyton two weeks ago might stick with them for a while.
For Crosbyton's part, Lilly Rodriguez was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She tossed three innings while giving up no earned run off three hits (she also only allowed one walk). Rodriguez was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in two of her three plate appearances.
In other batting news, Crosbyton got a big performance out of Leandra Cavazos-Diaz, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Illiana Salazar, who went 2-for-2 with two runs and a triple.
Morton might still be hurting after the 16-1 loss they got from Crosbyton in their previous matchup two weeks ago. Can Morton avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
