Mesquite has won seven straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Cedar Hill has won seven straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. Mesquite will welcome Cedar Hill at 7:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Mesquite 2.9, Cedar Hill 1.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
On Friday, Mesquite earned a 6-1 win over Horn.
Meanwhile, Cedar Hill gave up the first runs on Friday, but they didn't let that get them down. They were the clear victors by a 16-4 margin over Lancaster. The result was nothing new for the Longhorns, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Monte Dismuke spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 13 Ks. Those 13 strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
At the plate, Julian Gonzalez was a standout: he went 2-for-4 with six RBI, three runs, and one triple. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Brayden Boyd, who scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances.
Gonzalez wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Cedar Hill kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's a new trend for Cedar Hill: they were averaging 5.5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 10.8.
Mesquite is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. Cedar Hill's win bumped their record up to 13-2-1.
