Tuesday just wasn't the day for Carondelet's offense. They wound up on the wrong side of a rough 7-0 walloping at the hands of the Dublin Gaels on Tuesday.

As for Dublin, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a nice bump to their 9-4-1 record this season.

Foothill is strutting in with some hitting muscle, as they've averaged 9.3 runs per game this season. As for Dublin, they will head out on the road to take on California at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. California's pitching crew has only allowed 2.8 runs per game this season, so Dublin's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
