Jourdanton has gone a perfect 4-0 against Randolph recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Indians/Squaws are taking a road trip to face off against the Ro-Hawks at 4:00 p.m. Jourdanton is coming into the matchup hot, having won their last four games.

Jourdanton is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They were the clear victors by a 16-1 margin over Carrizo Springs on Tuesday.

Jourdanton got a massive performance out of Bobbiejo Gonzales, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. Those three stolen bases gave Gonzales a new career-high. Rebecca Martinez also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen bases of the season.

Jourdanton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .708. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in three consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Randolph gave up the first runs on Tuesday, but they didn't let that get them down. They put the hurt on Poteet with a sharp 9-3 victory.

Raelynn Fowler was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Fowler was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, Elizabeth Landreth was incredible, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and three runs. Another player making a difference was Hadley Megeath, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.

Jourdanton pushed their record up to 11-13 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.2 runs over those games. As for Randolph, their win was their first in the district, bumping their district record up to 1-3 and their overall record up to 8-13.

Jourdanton took their victory against Randolph in their previous meeting back in March by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Indians/Squaws since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
