Redondo Union has gone a perfect 10-0 against Peninsula recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Sea Hawks will head out to take on the Panthers at 3:15 p.m. Redondo Union is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7 runs per game this season.

Redondo Union will roll into the matchup after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up one run last Tuesday, then bounced right back against Wiseburn- Da Vinci last Wednesday. The Sea Hawks' pitcher stepped up to hand the Wolves a 10-0 shutout. The Sea Hawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by eight runs or more this season.

The team relied heavily on Maika Dumas, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Linnea Rasmussen, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one RBI.

Redondo Union always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .533. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wiseburn- Da Vinci only posted an OBP of .211.

Peninsula not only won on Wednesday, but they posted their biggest win since March 16, 2024 (when they won 13-5). They were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over Wiseburn- Da Vinci. The victory was some much needed relief for the Panthers as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak.

Sienna Saggiani made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. Saggiani was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

Saggiani wasn't the only one making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Emily Gonzalez, who went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

Redondo Union is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Peninsula, their record now sits at 8-16.

Redondo Union beat Peninsula 10-5 in their previous matchup two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sea Hawks since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
