The Greenfield Bruins will venture away from home to take on the Alisal Trojans at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Greenfield 3.1, Alisal 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
While Greenfield's win against Everett Alvarez wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Bruins narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Eagles 2-1. The Bruins haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Nate Trujillo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up nine Ks.
At the plate, Greenfield saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kenny Pajas, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI. That's the most hits Pajas has posted since back in March. Nate Hernandez also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Greenfield hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Everett Alvarez struck out nine times.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Alisal and Pacific Grove meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Friday. The Trojans fell just short of the Breakers by a score of 4-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Trojans have suffered since May 21, 2024.
Greenfield's victory bumped their record up to 11-4. As for Alisal, their loss dropped their record down to 10-7.
Everything went Greenfield's way against Alisal in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, as Greenfield made off with an 8-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bruins since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
