The Dardanelle Sand Lizards are taking a road trip to take on the Ozark Hillbillies at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Dardanelle has given up an average of 6.7 runs per game this season, but Tuesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Monday just wasn't the day for Dardanelle's offense. They lost 11-0 to Shiloh Christian on Monday. The matchup marked the first time this season in which the Sand Lizards were not able to get on the board.
Dardanelle saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kentrell Diggs, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Ozark hadn't done well against Clarksville recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. Ozark put the hurt on Clarksville with a sharp 12-0 victory. While the Hillbillies didn't have the best season last year (they finished 12-21), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Ozark is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.6 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Dardanelle and nudges their season record down to 6-8.
