Livermore and Foothill are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Cowboys will challenge the Falcons at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Livermore 4, Foothill 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned.

On Thursday, Livermore didn't have quite enough to beat California and fell 3-2.

Reese Boswell was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she pitched six innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, Livermore saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Laine Macosky, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI. Eliza Gerochi also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Meanwhile, Foothill unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of San Ramon Valley by a score of 3-2. Having soared to a lofty 11 runs in the game before, the Falcons couldn't push the score so high this time.

Kaycie Burdick made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-2 with two runs and one double.

Foothill's loss dropped their record down to 11-5-1. As for Livermore, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-7 record this season.

Tuesday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Livermore hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .333. However, it's not like Foothill struggles in that department as they've averaged .369. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Livermore skirted past Foothill 5-3 in their previous meeting back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cowboys since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
