Poly was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 5-4 heartbreaker at the hands of the Liberty Bison.
Marley Audoma spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on ten hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Katelyn Cortez made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Brookelyn Duerfeldt, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
Poly's defeat dropped their record down to 14-6-1. As for Liberty, they are on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-7 record this season.
We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Poly will square off against rival Hemet at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Bears 2.8, the Bulldogs 1.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Liberty is set to take on their familiar foe Orange Vista at 3:15 a.m. on Thursday. The Bison are on a six-game streak of home wins, the Coyotes a three-game streak of away wins, meaning someone's leaving a streak behind.
