The Burbank Bulldogs will take on the Edison Golden Bears at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Burbank is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.8 runs per game this season.
Burbank's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They blew past Brackenridge 10-0. Considering the Bulldogs have won nine matchups by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Evelyn Lopez made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Leah Guerrero, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that she hit this season. Another player making a difference was Giselle Garcia, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Burbank was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .476. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .308 or higher in 15 consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Tuesday just wasn't the day for Edison's offense. They lost 17-0 to Highlands on Tuesday. Having soared to a lofty 15 runs in the game before, the Golden Bears' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Burbank has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Edison, they dropped their record down to 2-11-1 with the loss, which was their third straight at home.
Edison's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Burbank hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .487. It's a different story for Edison, though, as they've only averaged .182. Will they be able to contain Burbank's hitters?
Everything went Burbank's way against Edison in their previous meeting back in March, as Burbank made off with an 18-1 win. Do the Bulldogs have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Golden Bears turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
