Prairiland had lost three straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 4-4 to make it four. They fell just short of the Chisum Mustangs by a score of 1-0. The contest marked the first time this season in which the Patriots were not able to get on the board.
As for Chisum, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 9-10. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games.
For Chisum's part, Prairiland's batters probably weren't too happy with Drake Howard, who pitched a no hitter and racked up eight Ks (he gave up a single walk). Howard has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Chisum saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kason Vickers, who went 1-for-3 with one double.
While Prairiland had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
