Livermore and Foothill are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2021, but likely not for long. The Cowboys will be playing at home against the Falcons at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

Livermore heads in on the heels of a playoff match on Wednesday. They came up short against Casa Grande, falling 9-0. The Cowboys' loss signaled the end of their six-game winning streak.

Reese Boswell was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off nine hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season.

Meanwhile, Foothill suffered their closest defeat since March 21st on Wednesday. They fell just short of Liberty by a score of 3-1.

On the hitting side, Alexa Sponsel made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one home run. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.

Saturday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Livermore hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .341. However, it's not like Foothill struggles in that department as they've averaged .378. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Livermore suffered a grim 16-6 defeat to Foothill in their previous meeting back in April. Will the Cowboys have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
