Olympian has won six straight games at home, while West Ranch has won six straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. The Eagles will host the Wildcats at 4:00 p.m. West Ranch took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Olympian, who comes in off a win.
Olympian is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Saturday. They never let Southwest EC get on the board and left with a 7-0 win. Olympian has beaten Southwest EC the last four times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest Southwest EC has come to flipping the script.
Southwest EC's batters probably weren't too happy with Alexandra Perez, who pitched a no hitter (she gave up two walks). Perez has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jacqui De Murguia was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May. Kailynn Robeson was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Olympian kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, West Ranch unfortunately witnessed the end of their nine-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell just short of St. Bonaventure by a score of 8-7.
TORREY PRICE was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one triple.
West Ranch's defeat dropped their record down to 17-15. As for Olympian, their victory bumped their record up to 19-12-1.
Tuesday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Olympian hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .320. However, it's not like West Ranch struggles in that department as they've averaged .349. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
