Abilene has gone 8-1 against Cooper recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Eagles will take on the Cougars at 6:30 p.m. Abilene will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.
Abilene had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Memorial on Thursday. The Eagles blew past the Mavericks 11-4. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Eagles considering their two-run performance the matchup before.
Abilene let Izabella Rocha and Brieyonna Reed run wild. Rocha went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI, while Reed went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases and two runs. That's the most RBI Rocha has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Alicia Gutierrez, who went 1-for-4 with one home run.
Meanwhile, Cooper lost 13-2 to Wylie on Thursday. The loss continues a trend for the Cougars in their meetings with the Bulldogs: they've now lost three in a row.
Cooper saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ryllie Hawthorne, who went 1-for-2 with one double. Ella Ruiz also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Abilene's victory bumped their record up to 14-9-1. As for Cooper, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-9.
Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Abilene hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .334. However, it's not like Cooper struggles in that department as they've averaged .319. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Abilene's way against Cooper in their previous matchup two weeks ago, as Abilene made off with a 10-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
