After losing to Gregory-Portland<\/a> the last time they met, Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial<\/a> decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Eagles sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over the Wildcats on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Jordan Garza<\/a> spent all seven innings on the mound, and it’s clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn’t given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances.<\/p>\n

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ryan Morgan<\/a>, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and one triple. That home run was his first of the season. Jonathan Reyes<\/a> was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI.<\/p>\n

Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial is on a roll lately: they’ve won seven of their last eight matchups. That’s provided a nice bump to their 17-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Gregory-Portland, they moved to 13-6-1 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

We’ve got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial will face off against rival King at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Gregory-Portland is set to challenge their familiar foe Ray at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Wildcats 2.3, the Texans 3.6) so any runs scored will be well earned.<\/p>\n
