The Saint Mary's Panthers will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Las Lomas Knights at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Saint Mary's is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They came up short against Oakland Tech on Wednesday, falling 10-3. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Panthers have suffered against the Bulldogs since April 21, 2018.
Saint Mary's saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Damien Nolan, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base. Brandon Sanchez was another, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Las Lomas unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of Encinal on Tuesday.
Las Lomas also got a good showing from Noah Sison, who tossed 3.1 innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. The dominant performance also gave Sison a new career-high in strikeouts (five).
