Alhambra skirted past Redwood 4-2 when the teams last played back in June of 2015. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Redwood's Lani Kaleikini, who struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Now that she won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Alhambra to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
