Bowie and McLeod are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2021, but likely not for long. The Pirates will square off against the Longhorns at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
Maud hit Bowie with a seven-run fifth inning on Monday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Pirates lost 10-0 to the Cardinals. The contest marked the first time this year in which the Pirates were not able to get on the board.
Meanwhile, McLeod entered their tilt with Rivercrest on Tuesday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They blew past the Rebels 13-1. Considering the Longhorns have won eight matchups by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Anna Dempsey spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 14 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, McLeod let Taylor Dees and Madison Blair run wild. Dees went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple, while Blair went 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most runs Blair has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Ariel Richardson, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and two RBI.
McLeod was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive games.
McLeod's victory bumped their record up to 11-4-2. As for Bowie, they dropped their record down to 4-5 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.
Bowie might still be hurting after the 15-3 defeat they got from McLeod when the teams last played back in March. Can the Pirates avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
