There's no place like home for Glendora, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Claremont Wolfpack on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Tartans, who have now won six matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Gianna Messick spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits.

At the plate, Kylie Coleman was a standout: she scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3. What's more, she posted two RBI, the most she's had since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Rylee Franks, who scored a run while going 3-for-3.

Glendora is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. Claremont's defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 5-4.

Looking ahead, Glendora will take on Temple City at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Glendora's pitchers better be ready for this one: Temple City has averaged an impressive 9.6 runs per game this season. As for Claremont, they will square off against Diamond Bar at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
