As for Kennedy, the victory was the seventh in a row for them, bringing their record up to 10-9. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.9 runs on average over those games.

On Kennedy's side, the team relied heavily on Leyla Cordon, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. Those three runs gave Cordon a new career-high. Maya Dorado was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases and one run.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests. Arleta will venture away from home to take on Poly at 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
