Bishop Diego had lost five straight at home, but on Thursday they dropped down to 1-10-2 to make it six. They lost 17-0 to the Grace Lancers. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Cardinals of the 3-0 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2025.
As for Grace, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-8 record this season. The result was nothing new for Grace, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
For Grace's part, Lucy Salazar was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Salazar has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI.
In other pitching news, Rosy Salazar looked comfortable as she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
Back at the plate, Grace let Eden Tuso and Grace Maguire run wild. Tuso went 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Maguire went 3-for-4 with four runs, two triples, and five RBI. Those four RBI gave Tuso a new career-high. Brooke Burns also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
