Softball Game Preview: Carter Lions vs. Kaiser Cats

The Carter Lions will square off against the Kaiser Cats at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday.

Carter's last matchup with Grand Terrace could've gone either way, but unfortunately the same can't be said for the pair's matchup on Thursday. The Lions lost 9-2 to the Titans. Having soared to a lofty 12 runs in the game before, the Lions couldn't push the score so high this time.

Meanwhile, Kaiser had to endure a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They walked away with a 6-1 win over Rialto on Thursday.

Bella Gonzalez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on two hits.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Alyssa Rios, who went 1-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. Another player making a difference was Alina Aguire, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Kaiser kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Rialto only managed five.

The defeat snapped Carter's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 7-7 record. As for Kaiser, their victory bumped their record up to 7-13.

Carter was able to grind out a solid win over Kaiser in their previous meeting back in March, winning 11-8. Do the Lions have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Cats turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
