Portales had lost three straight at home, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 9-10 to make it four. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 4-2 to the Goddard Rockets, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Rams were not able to make up for their defeat to the Rockets from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
As for Goddard, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games.
For Goddard's part, Juliet Gallegos spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on two hits and racked up 11 Ks.
At the plate, Jayla Morales was excellent, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Goddard beat Portales by a score of 4-1 later that day.
