Softball Preview: Azusa Aztecs vs. Sierra Vista Dons

The Azusa Aztecs will look to defend their home field on Friday against the Sierra Vista Dons at 3:30 p.m. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

Last Monday, it was close, but Azusa sidestepped South Pasadena for a 4-3 win.

Meanwhile, Sierra Vista had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15.8 runs), and they went ahead and made it five on Wednesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over the Falcons.

Sierra Vista saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was KAYLA INIGUEZ, who went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI.

Azusa's win bumped their record up to 11-8-1. As for Sierra Vista, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 14-9 record this season.

Azusa couldn't quite finish off Sierra Vista in their previous matchup back in March and fell 4-2. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Sierra Vista's MIA MIRAMONTES, who struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits.
