Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hondo). They were the clear victors by an 18-9 margin over the Crystal City Javelinas on Tuesday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Owls also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Rebecca Rubio spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and seven unearned) runs on five hits and racked up ten Ks. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 5.5 strikeouts per game.
At the plate, Ainsley Bohlen was incredible, firing off two home runs and six RBI while going 2-for-5. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Briley Krisch, who went 3-for-5 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.
Hondo hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Crystal City struck out 11 times.
Hondo is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.9 runs over those games. Crystal City is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Hondo is set to face off against their familiar foe Lytle at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Crystal City will square off against rival Cotulla at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
