Poly is a perfect 5-0 against Orange Vista since March of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Bears will take on the Coyotes at 3:15 p.m. Poly will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.

Poly came out on top against JW North on Friday thanks in part to the team's impressive five-run third inning. The Bears took their contest against the Huskies 9-5.

Marley Audoma spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 19 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Honesty Romero, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Katelyn Cortez, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Meanwhile, Orange Vista unfortunately witnessed the end of their seven-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell 15-12 to Valley View.

Orange Vista saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ciera Overton, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That home run was Overton's first of the season. Danielle Zabala was another, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances with one triple and two RBI.

Poly's victory bumped their record up to 15-7. As for Orange Vista, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-6.

Wednesday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Poly hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .320. However, it's not like Orange Vista struggles in that department as they've averaged .382. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Poly got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in March against Orange Vista by a conclusive 13-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bears since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
