The Carson Colts will venture away from home to take on the El Segundo Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Carson is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.2 runs per game this season.
Carson was handed a heart-breaking two-run loss in their last game, but they sure didn't let that happen against Gardena on Monday. The Colts never let the Panthers get on the board and left with a 24-0 win. The Colts might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 contests by seven runs or more this season.
Alaina Moran looked comfortable as she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
