Makala Wallace made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. Brooke Wooten was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Turner came up short against Creekview on Tuesday, falling 10-3.
Grecia De La Garza put in work no matter where she played.

Friday's match might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Lone Star has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .457. However, it's not like Turner struggles in that department as they've averaged .458. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Lone Star took their victory against Turner when the teams last played back in March by a conclusive 7-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rangers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
