After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Poteet, Cole was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Randolph Ro-Hawks 8-7. The Cougars haven't had any issues with the Ro-Hawks recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive win against them.
Mia Maldonado spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and six unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up seven Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Deborah Garza, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and one run. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Zoe Foy, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Garza wasn't the only one making solid contact: Cole kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive matches.
Cole's victory bumped their record up to 6-14-1. As for Randolph, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-15 record this season.
