Meanwhile, La Marque got the win against Fort Bend Willowridge on Friday by a conclusive 16-1.
Jaylyn Perry was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and one triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Katherine Salazar, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
Sealy pushed their record up to 18-5 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for La Marque, their win ended a four-game drought at home and bumped them up to 7-16.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Sealy has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like La Marque struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Sealy's way against La Marque in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as Sealy made off with a 16-0 victory. Will the Tigers repeat their success, or do the Cougars have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
