Norwalk and Paramount are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2016, but likely not for long. The Lancers will welcome the Pirates at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Paramount will take on a team with plenty of momentum: Norwalk extended their winning streak to three on Tuesday. Everything went the Lancers' way against Firebaugh as they made off with a 12-2 win.

Giselle Albidrez and Audrina Ramos did most of the damage at the plate: Albidrez went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Ramos went a perfect 4-for-4 with four stolen bases, four runs, and one triple. Ramos continues to improve, besting her previous run total in each of the last four games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Nayeli Sanchez, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Norwalk always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .594 or higher in three consecutive matchups.

Meanwhile, Paramount made easy work of South Gate on Wednesday and carried off an 11-1 victory.

Paramount let Francheska Torres and Evengelina Asoau run wild. Torres went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one triple, while Asoau got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases Torres has posted since back in March. ELIZAH GOMEZ was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.

Paramount's win bumped their record up to 11-4-1. As for Norwalk, their victory bumped their record up to 9-7-1.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Norwalk has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Paramount struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Norwalk might still be hurting after the 9-2 defeat they got from Paramount when the teams last played back in February of 2025. Can the Lancers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
