Sequoia and Mills are an even 4-4 against one another since March of 2015, but likely not for long. The Ravens will venture away from home to square off against the Vikings at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a seven-game winning streak alive.
While Sequoia's victory against Half Moon Bay wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Ravens skirted past the Cougars 7-5. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Ravens have posted since March 13th.
Jada Crockett was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. Crockett was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. That home run was her first of the season.
In other batting news, Gottshall Annika (Annie) was excellent, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Mehta Nisha, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Sequoia kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Half Moon Bay only managed seven hits.
Meanwhile, Mills hadn't done well against Notre Dame recently (they were 0-6 in their previous six matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. The Vikings had just enough and edged out the Tigers 3-2.
Kalia Woo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Mills saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Lucy Esquivel, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles and one run. Audrey Jang was another, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one RBI.
Mills pushed their record up to 17-3-1 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Sequoia, their record is now 10-7.
Wednesday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Sequoia has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .458. However, it's not like Mills struggles in that department as they've averaged .456. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Sequoia might still be hurting after the 13-3 defeat they got from Mills in their previous meeting back in March. Can the Ravens avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
