Canyon and Pacifica are an even 3-3 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Comanches will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against the Mariners at 3:15 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Canyon 3, Pacifica 2.7) so any runs scored will be well earned.

On Tuesday, Canyon came up short against Cypress and fell 8-4.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pacifica). Their pitcher stepped up to hand Esperanza an 11-0 shutout on Thursday. The victory was familiar territory for the Mariners, who have now won three matchups in a row.

Ellena Ediss tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Pacifica got a massive performance out of Abby Amezquita, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave Amezquita a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Micheala Meza, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.

Pacifica always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .516. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Esperanza only posted an OBP of .176.

Pacifica's win bumped their record up to 15-8. As for Canyon, their defeat dropped their record down to 18-8.
