Kennedy is 1-9 against Arvin since March of 2017 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. The Kennedy Thunderbirds will face off against the Arvin Bears at 3:00 p.m.
Kennedy can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Wednesday. They lost 10-3 to Foothill. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.
Kennedy saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Miguel Gutierrez, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, Arvin came into Thursday's game having lost five straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. Everything went their way against Chavez on Thursday as Arvin made off with a 7-1 win.
Alex Nunez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up seven Ks. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March of 2024.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Noe Perez, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Ryan Segarra, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Kennedy might still be hurting after the 11-1 defeat they got from Arvin in their previous meeting back in February of 2024. Can Kennedy avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
