The home team had won the previous four meetings between Santa Ana Valley and Orange, and Santa Ana Valley kept the tradition alive. The Falcons were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over the Panthers on Wednesday. The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matches by six runs or more this season.
Espy Guerrero spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Karla Oliva, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two triples, two stolen bases, and three RBI. Those two triples gave her a new career-high. Faith Nu?ez was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Santa Ana Valley's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Orange, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-11.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Santa Ana Valley will welcome La Quinta at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Orange, they will host Loara at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. The Saxons have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.89 runs per game on average), something the Panthers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
