The White Longhorns will take on the Nimitz Vikings in a tournament on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
White took a loss when they played away from home last Thursday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed last Thursday. They walked away with a 7-2 victory over Cedar Hill. White's hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Meanwhile, after only two runs in their last matchup, Nimitz made sure to put some runs up on the board against Garland on Thursday. The Vikings blew past the Owls 15-3. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.
Christian Ugalde was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Hayden Vinson, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and two RBI.
Nimitz always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .750. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Nimitz has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.1 runs over those games. White's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-3.
Everything went White's way against Nimitz in their previous meeting back in March of 2025, as White made off with an 8-2 win. Do the Longhorns have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Vikings turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
