On the hitting side, Reese Marier was incredible, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Kiana Rodriguez also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Meanwhile, Escondido fell victim to Ramona and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They lost 6-0 to the Bulldogs. The loss continues a trend for the Cougars in their meetings with the Bulldogs: they've now lost six in a row.

Westview's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-8-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Escondido, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-16.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Westview has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Escondido struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Westview took their win against Escondido in their previous meeting two weeks ago by a conclusive 15-0 score. Will the Wolverines repeat their success, or do the Cougars have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
