The Jordan Bulldogs will head out to take on the Dymally Challengers at 3:00 p.m. on Monday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
Jordan took a loss when they played away from home on Wednesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They came out on top against Hawkins by a score of 16-12. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last five times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
The team relied heavily on Remy Orea, who went 3-for-4 with six stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. She also hit a triple, marking her first of the season. Akeelah Page was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing six bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Jordan always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .615. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in four consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dymally). They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 24-22 win over Crenshaw on Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Challengers have posted since May 9, 2024.
Jordan now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Dymally, their win (their first of the season) made their record 1-6.
Jordan couldn't quite finish off Dymally when the teams last played back in April of 2024 and fell 9-7. Can the Bulldogs avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
