If Banning was riding high fresh off their 17-5 takedown of Garfield last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Banning Pilots fell 9-5 to the Redondo Union Sea Hawks on Wednesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Pilots of the 7-2 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2022.
Kourtney Talanoa was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3. Lilly Aguilar also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Banning has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. The victory made it two in a row for Redondo Union and bumps their season record up to 5-2.
Coincidentally, Banning and Redondo Union will both be playing King/Drew the next time they take the field. Banning will head out to face King/Drew at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, while Redondo Union will play them later in the day, at 11:00 a.m.
