The Douglass Eagles will be playing in front of their home fans against the Crossland Cavaliers at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Douglass had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell victim to a rough 11-1 loss at the hands of Oxon Hill.
Meanwhile, Crossland pushed their score all the way to 14 on Tuesday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 19-14 to Suitland. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest runs Crossland has scored all season.
Kayla Ali stepped up to lead a balanced group of hitters: she scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Ayana Jenkins was another key contributor, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Douglass took their win against Crossland in their previous matchup back in March of 2019 by a conclusive 30-0. Will Douglass repeat their success, or does Crossland have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
