The Stars will be playing in front of their home fans against the Mariners at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

Mary Star of the Sea took a 18-run loss the last time they faced off against Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Stars sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.

Angelina Miller spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Amaree Arellano, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. Ruby Rico was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.

Meanwhile, St. Monica entered their tilt with Ramona Convent on Thursday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 3-2 W against the Tigers. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Mariners have posted since March 26, 2024.

St. Monica also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Bella Urbina gave up just two earned runs on three hits. Those hits marked the first that Urbina allowed this season.

At the plate, Ali Vogler was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Savanna Hernandez, who scored a run while going 3-for-4.

St. Monica's victory bumped their record up to 9-7. As for Mary Star of the Sea, their win bumped their record up to 2-7.

Mary Star of the Sea might still be hurting after the 18-10 defeat they got from St. Monica in their previous matchup back in March. Will the Stars have more luck at home instead of on the road?
