Los Altos and South Hills are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Conquerors will square off against the Huskies at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Los Altos' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so South Hills' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Los Altos' usually-dominant pitching crew will be looking to make up for Saturday's struggle, when Chino hitters got past them. The Conquerors came up short against the Cowboys on Saturday, falling 15-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Conquerors have suffered against the Cowboys since April 16, 2015.
Los Altos saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Isys Garcia, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI. Jazlene Castro also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
Meanwhile, South Hills' hitters rose to the challenge against a Condors pitching crew that boasted an average of only 3.13 runs allowed on Saturday. The Huskies came out on top against California by a score of 14-4 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). The result was nothing new for the Huskies, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Parker Milton tossed a big game, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits (and not a single walk).

Victoria Roman was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs.

South Hills is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Los Altos, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 14-8 record.
Everything went Los Altos' way against South Hills in their previous meeting on April 2nd, as Los Altos made off with a 6-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Conquerors since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
