Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Pomona duked it out with D'Evelyn on Thursday. The Panthers fell just short of the Jaguars by a score of 5-4. The Panthers haven't had much luck with the Jaguars recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.

At the plate, Damani Chavez made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and one run. Another player making a difference was Gage Douglas, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one RBI.
Golden's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-3. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Pomona, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-10.
Pomona's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Golden has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 8.9 hits per game. It's a different story for Pomona, though, as they've been averaging 9.1 hits. Given Golden's sizable advantage in that area, the Panthers will need to find a way to close that gap.
Golden took their win against Pomona in their previous meeting back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 15-0 score. Will the Demons repeat their success, or do the Panthers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
