The team relied heavily on Parker Mayes, who fired off two home runs and three RBI while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. Jocelyn Alatorre also deserves some recognition as she hit her first doubles of the season.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: El Modena lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Poway didn't launched any home runs.

El Modena has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. As for Poway, their defeat dropped their record down to 24-9.

Coming up, El Modena will welcome Mater Dei Catholic at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Crusaders' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Vanguards' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Poway does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
