St. Joseph has gone a perfect 10-0 against Righetti recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Knights will head out to face off against the Warriors at 4:30 p.m. Both teams are coming into the contest red-hot, with St. Joseph sitting on nine straight victories and Righetti on five.

St. Joseph barely beat Kingsburg the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Knights never let the Vikings get on the board and left with a 9-0 win on Monday.

The team relied heavily on Seleny Chavez, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most hits she has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Annalyssa Cota, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one stolen base and one double.

Chavez wasn't the only one making solid contact: St. Joseph kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's a new trend for the Knights: they were averaging 5.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 9.

Meanwhile, Righetti got the win against Mission College Prep on Monday by a conclusive 9-0. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by six runs or more this season.

St. Joseph pushed their record up to 14-4 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Righetti, their victory bumped their record up to 13-4.

St. Joseph took their win against Righetti when the teams last played back in March by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
