Meanwhile, Early made easy work of Peaster on Tuesday and carried off a 17-8 victory. Considering the Longhorns have won 15 contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Kyleigh Caperton was a standout: she went 1-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Jamie Vassar, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Early's win bumped their record up to 16-4. As for Comanche, their loss dropped their record down to 3-17.
Wednesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Comanche hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .351. However, it's not like Early struggles in that department as they've averaged .446. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Comanche might still be hurting after the 9-2 defeat they got from Early when the teams last played back in March. Will the Indians have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
