The McGehee Owls will head out on the road to challenge the Hamburg Lions at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. McGehee is no doubt hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
McGehee won a close one the last time they played, but unfortunately they suffered a serious change of fortune on Monday. Their tough 16-5 defeat to Rison might stick with them for a while.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Friday Hamburg sidestepped Crossett for a 3-2 win.
A Laughin spent all seven innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on 12 hits. Those seven innings set a new season-high mark for her.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on S Gavin, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-2. MJ Esquivel was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
McGehee's loss dropped their record down to 2-5. As for Hamburg, they now have a winning record of 7-6.
McGehee couldn't quite finish off Hamburg when the teams last played back in April of 2018 and fell 4-2. Thankfully for McGehee, Marlee Tomerlin (who struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
