The Melba Mustangs will venture away from home to face off against the Wendell Trojans at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Melba is leaving town to face Wendell after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Mustangs fell just short of Cole Valley Christian by a score of 5-3 on Thursday. The Mustangs have struggled against the Chargers recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive lost matchup.
Melba saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brayden Albers, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases.
Wendell kicked off their season on the road on Wednesday and hit a couple of potholes. They came up short against Filer, falling 11-1.
Melba skirted past Wendell 9-8 in their previous matchup back in May of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
