Alana Lopez Game Report: @ Mira Costa

Banning came out on top against Mira Costa on Saturday thanks in part to Alana Lopez's efforts. Lopez didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.

Coming up, Lopez and Banning will challenge Narbonne at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Narbonne is coming into the match hot: they've won three straight on the road.
