The Jefferson Bulldogs will challenge the Longview Lobos at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Bulldogs fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Saturday's season opener. They were the clear victor by a 14-2 margin over New Boston on Saturday.
Maddie Clark and Chloe Wood made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, Clark pitched 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Wood struck out six batters over 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. Those no hits gave Clark a new career-low. At the plate, Clark scored a run while going 2-for-3, while Wood scored two runs while going 2-for-5.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Maddie Cooner, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February of 2024. Karly Long was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-5.
Meanwhile, Longview gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They blew past Tatum 26-9. The Lobos haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Jefferson was able to grind out a solid win over Longview when the teams last played back in February of 2024, winning 16-11. Does Jefferson have another victory up their sleeve, or will Longview turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
