After both having extra time off, the George Washington Prep Generals and the Crenshaw Cougars will shake off the rust and duke it out at 3:00 p.m. on Monday. George Washington Prep will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak.
George Washington Prep hadn't beaten Jordan on the road since May 4, 2022 but that history sure didn't bother them last Wednesday. The Generals blew past the Bulldogs 24-5. Considering the Generals have won six contests by more than 11 runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Aracely Gonzalez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off two hits. Gonzalez was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. That double was her first of the season.
