Venus extended their losing streak to five on Thursday, dropping them down to 3-8. They took a 6-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Seguin Cougars. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Cougars this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-6 last Thursday.
As for Seguin, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 8-2. While they didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-21), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
For Seguin's part, Zach Reed tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Aayden Fowlkes, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
Looking ahead, Venus will be taking part in a tournament against Trinity Leadership at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.5 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
