Lincoln's batters probably weren't too happy with Elisa Galli, who pitched a no hitter and racked up six Ks (she gave up a single walk). Galli has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Emry Couch, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. Emalee Cargill was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
Couch wasn't the only one making solid contact: Tracy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 13 hits in four consecutive matches.
Meanwhile, St. Mary's came up short against Lincoln on Monday, falling 11-1. The Rams have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Matea Muraoka was cooking despite her team's loss, going 1-for-2 with one home run.
Tracy's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for St. Mary's, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-10.
Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Tracy hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .378. However, it's not like St. Mary's struggles in that department as they've averaged .315. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Tracy's way against St. Mary's in their previous meeting back in March, as Tracy made off with a 19-2 victory. Will the Bulldogs repeat their success, or do the Rams have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
