The Atascadero Greyhounds will square off against the Golden West Trailblazers at 11:00 a.m. on Monday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Atascadero sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-4 victory over Cabrillo.
Atascadero got a great performance from Anissa Crespin as she pitched seven innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits. Crespin has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Olivia Moscardi was incredible, going 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs. Trisanee Siharath was another key contributor, scoring a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, in what's become a running theme this season, Golden West gave their fans yet another huge win on Saturday. Everything went their way against Corcoran as Golden West made off with a 10-2 victory. The win was nothing new for Golden West as they're now sitting on three straight.
Erin Fawkes spent all seven innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on four hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Karly Aguilar was incredible, going 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Alondra Magallanes, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

Both both teams just can't seem to miss. Atascadero has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.7 hits per game. However, it's not like Golden West struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.4 per game. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Atascadero skirted past Golden West 2-1 in their previous matchup back in March of 2018. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Golden West's JULIANNA FLORES, who tossed 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Now that she won't be playing on Monday, will it be that much easier for Atascadero to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
