Alvin is a perfect 7-0 against Manvel since March of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Saturday. The Alvin Yellowjackets will be playing at home against the Manvel Mavericks at 12:00 p.m. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Alvin took a loss when they played away from home on Saturday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday. They never let Sam Rayburn get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory. The Yellowjackets haven't had any issues with the Texans recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive win against them.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Manvel). They put the hurt on Sam Rayburn with a sharp 16-6 victory on Friday. The Mavericks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by seven runs or more this season.
Mariah Lantz tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off eight hits. Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high.
On the hitting side, Skylar Frederick was a standout: she went 1-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Carley Williams, who scored three runs while going 3-for-3.
Manvel always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .629. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sam Rayburn only posted an OBP of .429.
The win made it two in a row for Manvel and bumps their season record up to 8-5. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Alvin, the victory got them back to even at 7-7.
Everything went Alvin's way against Manvel in their previous matchup back in February of 2023, as Alvin made off with a 15-1 win. Will Alvin repeat their success, or does Manvel have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
