Osborne is 0-8 against Harrison since August of 2016 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. The Osborne Cardinals are taking a road trip to face off against the Harrison Hoyas at 6:00 p.m. The pair come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Cardinals fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. Everything went their way against Coretta Scott King YWLA on Tuesday as Osborne made off with a 19-5 victory. The win was some much needed relief for the Cardinals as it spelled an end to their eight-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Heaven Ross was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Ross was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
In other batting news, Osborne got a massive performance out of Jennifer Avila, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. Kcirred Crowder was another key contributor, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Osborne always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .889. The last time their OBP was this high was back in August of 2023.
Meanwhile, Harrison waltzed into their game on Saturday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They walked away with a 6-3 victory over the Hornets. That's two games straight that the Hoyas have won by exactly three runs.
Osborne might still be hurting after the 15-0 defeat they got from Harrison when the teams last played back in September of 2019. Can Osborne avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
