The Early Longhorns are taking a road trip to take on the Breckenridge Buckaroos at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Tuesday, Early didn't have quite enough to beat Breckenridge and fell 4-2. The Longhorns have struggled against the Buckaroos recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost meetings.
Eli Pallette spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero).
On the hitting side, Early saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Rowan McDermed, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one RBI. Jack Nowell also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Breckenridge has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-8-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games. Early's defeat dropped their record down to 3-9.
