Dawson was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They fell 14-11 to the Ennis Lions.

Dawson's defeat dropped their record down to 3-7. As for Ennis, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season.

Dawson is taking a road trip to take on West at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Dawson has given up an average of 8.5 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week. We've got a battle between Lions coming up. The two teams have allowed few runs on average, (Kaufman: 3.2, Ennis: 3.7) so any runs scored will be well earned.
