The Hondo Owls are on the road again on Friday to play the Crystal City Javelinas at 6:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Hondo might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 13-3 to Dilley, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior.
Hondo saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kristyn Ybarra, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Meanwhile, after soaring to ten runs the game before, Crystal City was a bit more limited in their match on Tuesday. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 10-0 walloping at the hands of Natalia. Considering the last time Crystal City couldn't score was back in February, the team can't take the result too hard.
Hondo has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-15 record this season. As for Crystal City, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-12.
Crystal City's pitching crew has a tough task ahead of them: Hondo hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .314. It's a different story for Crystal City, though, as they've only averaged .241. Will they be able to contain Hondo's hitters?
Hondo couldn't quite finish off Crystal City in their previous matchup back in March and fell 15-13. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Crystal City's Selma Flores, who scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Now that Hondo knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
