Sudan never got on the board in their matchup on Friday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Crosbyton on Saturday. They had just enough and edged out the Chiefs 11-9.
Andrea Williams was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2. Reyna Limon-Johnson was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in both of her plate appearances.
Sudan always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .682. They are undefeated (6-0) when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Sudan has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-6-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.2 runs over those games. Morton's defeat dropped their record down to 0-5.

However, it's not like Sudan struggles in that department as they've averaged .413. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Morton couldn't quite finish off Sudan when the teams last played last Saturday and fell 10-8. Will Morton have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
