Capuchino is 8-2 against Woodside since April of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Mustangs will challenge the Wildcats at 4:00 p.m. Capuchino will be looking to extend their current six-game winning streak.

Capuchino is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They were the clear victors by a 17-1 margin over Carlmont on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Lola Sierra made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Capuchino got a massive performance out of Avery Motroni, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI Motroni has posted since back in April of 2024. Alana Koenig also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Capuchino hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in four consecutive contests.

Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Woodside duked it out with Burlingame on Tuesday. The Wildcats walked away with a 6-2 win over the Panthers. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Wildcats as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.

Hannah Walker spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on four hits and racked up eight Ks.

At the plate, Caroline Ong was a standout: she got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two runs and one double. Vanessa Carlos was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run.

Capuchino's win was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 19-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. As for Woodside, their record now sits at 13-10.

Everything went Capuchino's way against Woodside when the teams last played back in April, as Capuchino made off with an 11-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
