Capuchino is 8-2 against Burlingame since May of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Mustangs will challenge the Panthers at 4:00 p.m. Capuchino's pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so Burlingame's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Capuchino proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by 11) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They skirted past Hillsdale 3-1.
Lola Sierra spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on two hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Capuchino got a big performance out of Lily Thomas, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one double. That triple was Thomas' first of the season. Star Gutierrez was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Meanwhile, Burlingame waltzed into their game on Thursday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They walked away with a 10-7 victory over the Scots. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Panthers considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Kiley Lyons made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching four innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits. Lyons was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with one double and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Madeline Koo, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one double. Another player making a difference was Samantha Arce, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
Burlingame always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .535. They are 2-1 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Capuchino has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Burlingame, their record now sits at 6-10.
Capuchino beat Burlingame 5-0 in their previous matchup back in April. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
