South San Antonio has gone a perfect 10-0 against Harlandale recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Saturday. The Bobcats will head out on the road to face off against the Indians at 12:00 p.m. South San Antonio is coming into the game hot, having won their last 12 games.

South San Antonio proved they can win big last Thursday (they won by ten) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over MacArthur.

Lauren Perez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Raena Ramirez, who went 1-for-2 with one home run.

Meanwhile, Harlandale didn't have quite enough to beat Southside on Thursday and fell 8-7.

Julia Casarez was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Another player making a difference was Alanah DeLeon, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

South San Antonio's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 19-6. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. As for Harlandale, they now have a losing record of 11-12.

Saturday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. South San Antonio has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .450. However, it's not like Harlandale struggles in that department as they've averaged .466. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

South San Antonio took their win against Harlandale in their previous matchup back in March by a conclusive 14-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bobcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
