At bat, Gonzales went 1-for-2 with two runs and two RBI, while Madison went 2-for-3 with two triples, four RBI, and two runs.

Johnson pushed their record up to 14-3 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Fairfield, their win bumped their record up to 10-6.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Fairfield has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Johnson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.1 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Fairfield might still be hurting after the 11-0 loss they got from Johnson in their previous matchup back in April. Will the Falcons have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
