East Austin College Prep hasn't had much luck against Valor South Austin recently, but that could start to change on Friday. East Austin College Prep is taking a road trip to face off against Valor South Austin at 6:00 p.m.
East Austin College Prep can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home two weeks ago. They came up short against San Marcos Academy, falling 18-3.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Valor South Austin). Their pitchers stepped up to hand San Marcos Academy a 20-0 shutout on Saturday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Miguel Alvarez and Grant Woerner made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Alvarez pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Woerner tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. At the plate, Alvarez got on base in three of his four plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one RBI, while Woerner got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two RBI.
In other batting news, Jace Nelson and Indy Noble did most of the damage at the plate: Nelson got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs and three RBI, while Noble went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. Noble is becoming a predictor of Valor South Austin's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Hank Perucca also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Valor South Austin hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as San Marcos Academy struck out seven times.
East Austin College Prep might still be hurting after the 16-0 loss they got from Valor South Austin in their previous matchup back in April of 2025. Can East Austin College Prep avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
