Dixon has won five straight games at home, while Iberia has won five straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Thursday. The Dixon Bulldogs will host the Iberia Rangers at 4:00 p.m. Dixon knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past six contests -- so hopefully Iberia likes a good challenge.
Last Monday, Dixon made easy work of St. James and carried off a 17-3 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won ten matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.
Meanwhile, Iberia gave up the first runs on Tuesday, but they didn't let that get them down. They came out on top against Rolla by a score of 11-6. That's two games straight that the Rangers have won by exactly five runs.
Jaylyn Piggott was a major factor no matter where she played. She pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Piggott was even better at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, and a double.
In other batting news, Katelynn Pryor and Chloe Edwards did most of the damage at the plate: Pryor scored three runs while going 3-for-3, while Edwards scored two runs while going 3-for-5. What's more, Edwards also racked up three hits, the mostshe's had in her last nine games. Kya Yoakum was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Iberia was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .444. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .361 or higher in four consecutive matches.
Dixon is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 12-7 record this season. As for Iberia, their win bumped their record up to 20-5.
Dixon might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from Iberia in their previous matchup back in September. Will Dixon have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
