Glendora won the last time they faced Claremont and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Tartans were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over the Wolfpack. Considering the Tartans have won ten contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Gianna Messick spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on eight hits.

At the plate, Kennedy Bowers was incredible, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run and four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Kylie Coleman was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs.

Glendora hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They are 10-1 when they post two or more strikeouts.

Glendora is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Claremont, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost ten of their last 12 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Glendora will venture away from home to challenge Bonita at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Tartans' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bearcats have averaged an impressive 6.8 runs per game this season. As for Claremont, they are taking a road trip to square off against Ayala at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs will roll in looking for their 13th straight win, something the Wolfpack surely won't give up without a fight.
