After soaring to 12 runs the game before, Sonora was a bit more limited in their game on Tuesday. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Sunny Hills Lancers. The Raiders were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Lancers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.
Gabriela Montano spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and three unearned) runs on eight hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Karlee Tafolla and Ashlyn Pantages did some serious damage despite the final result: Tafolla went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Pantages went 2-for-4 with one triple and one double. That triple was Pantages' first of the season. Another player making a difference was Olivia Rosales, who went 2-for-3 with one run.
This is the second loss in a row for Sonora and nudges their season record down to 8-15. Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. As for Sunny Hills, their record now sits at 11-12-1.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Sonora will welcome El Dorado at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. The last three games the Golden Hawks have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Sunny Hills, they will host Crean Lutheran at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. The Lancers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Saints have averaged an impressive 11.6 runs per game this season.
