Shadow Ridge heads in on the heels of a playoff game on Wednesday. They fell just short of Centennial by a score of 6-5. The Mustangs have struggled against the Bulldogs recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost meeting.

Coronado's found some homefield redemption this week after a overtime loss to Bishop Gorman on Wednesday. The Cougars blew past Silverado 11-1. The result was nothing new for the Cougars, who have now won ten contests by eight runs or more so far this season.
Coronado also got a great performance from Aubrie Sisler as she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched.
At the plate, Bailey Goldberg was a standout: she got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four stolen bases and four runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April.

Thursday's game 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 .379. However, it's not like Coronado struggles in that department as they've averaged .340. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Shadow Ridge took their victory against Coronado in their previous matchup back in April by a conclusive 14-5 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
