Murrieta Mesa is a perfect 10-0 against Chaparral since March of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Rams will be playing in front of their home fans against the Pumas at 3:30 p.m. Murrieta Mesa is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.4 runs per game this season.

Last Wednesday, Murrieta Mesa got the win against Chaparral by a conclusive 13-7. The Rams might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by six runs or more this season.

Savannah Demary spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up ten Ks.

On the hitting side, Taelyn Holley was incredible, firing off two home runs, four runs, and five RBI while going 4-for-4. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Lilly Hauser, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and one stolen base.

Murrieta Mesa was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. They are 6-2 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Murrieta Mesa has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-6-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. Chaparral's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-11.

Chaparral's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Murrieta Mesa has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .444.
