Kennedy has gone a perfect 4-0 against Arleta recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Cougars will head out to challenge the Mustangs at 3:30 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Kennedy has three straight wins, Arleta has ten straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
It was a proper cat-fight when Kennedy challenged San Fernando on Friday. The Cougars walked away with an 11-8 victory over the Tigers. With that win, the Cougars brought their scoring average up to 6.3 runs per game.
The team relied heavily on Alina Ortiz, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Leah Magallanes, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Kennedy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .559. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The scorekeeper got an easy start on Thursday as neither Arleta nor Verdugo Hills made it on the board until the seventh inning. The Mustangs fell just short of the Dons by a score of 2-1. That's two games in a row now that the Mustangs have lost by just one run.
Arleta saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was JUSTINE MEJIA, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.
Kennedy's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-8. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Arleta, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-15.
Kennedy's speedy runners might be the difference in Monday's match. The Cougars have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Arleta, though, as they've been averaging only 1.1 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Kennedy continue to outrun the ball?
Kennedy skirted past Arleta 4-2 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
