The Shadow Ridge Mustangs will face off against the Bonita Bearcats at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Shadow Ridge is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.6 runs per game this season.
Shadow Ridge is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Nevada's top teams: Coronado, who was ranked 11th at the time (Shadow Ridge was ranked second). The Mustangs lost 14-5 to the Cougars on Wednesday. The game snapped a strange streak: the last four times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Chloe Covington made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that she launched this season.
Meanwhile, Bonita entered their tilt with Walnut on Thursday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Mustangs a 4-0 shutout.
Not much got past Skyler Lee, who gave up just a hit and racked up eight Ks to keep Walnut off the board. Lee has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Skyy Hicks, who went 1-for-3 with one home run. Another player making a difference was Leah Reynolds, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Bonita's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Shadow Ridge, their loss dropped their record down to 8-3.
Friday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Shadow Ridge hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .429. However, it's not like Bonita struggles in that department as they've averaged .329. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
