The Irvine Vaqueros will take on the San Juan Hills Stallions in a tournament on Saturday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
The home team had come away the winner the last five times Irvine and Woodbridge had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. Irvine fell 4-1 to Woodbridge on Tuesday. Having soared to a lofty 12 runs in the game before, the Vaqueros couldn't push the score so high this time.
Irvine saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Katie Liu, who scored a run while going 3-for-3.
Meanwhile, San Juan Hills suffered their closest loss since March 28, 2024 on Thursday. They fell just short of Trabuco Hills by a score of 9-7.
San Juan Hills has also been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season. Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.4 runs over those games. Irvine's loss dropped their record down to 3-10.
Irvine took their victory against San Juan Hills in their previous matchup back in February of 2023 by a conclusive 12-4. Does Irvine have another victory up their sleeve, or will San Juan Hills turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
