Heritage extended their losing streak to four on Monday, dropping their season record down to 4-14 in the process. They lost 12-2 to the Tahquitz Titans. The Patriots were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Titans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2021.
Heritage saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Allie Garcia, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one run and one double. Another was Aryah Phiakeo, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI.
As for Tahquitz, they moved to 7-8 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by ten runs or more this season.
On Tahquitz's side, Lillian Phelps spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on six hits and racked up six Ks.
On the hitting side, Reyna Garcia and Megan Brown did most of the damage at the plate: Garcia got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one home run, five RBI, and one double, while Brown went 3-for-5 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base. Those four RBI gave Brown a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Vanessa Garcia, who went 3-for-5 with two runs and one double.
Looking ahead, Heritage will head out to square off against Hillcrest at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The Patriots' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Trojans have averaged an impressive 6.7 runs per game this season. As for Tahquitz, they are taking a road trip to challenge West Valley at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mustangs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.45 runs per game on average), something the Titans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
