If Heard County was riding high fresh off their 13-5 takedown of Temple on Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Braves fell 6-3 to the Villa Rica Wildcats on Tuesday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wildcats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 8-0 back in August.
Heard County dropped their record down to 12-10 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road. Those road losses can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Villa Rica, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-10 record this season.
Heard County will challenge Harris County at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Braves 3.9, the Tigers 1.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. Villa Rica does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
