The Muir Mustangs will take on the Duarte Falcons at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
Muir is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Tuesday. They blew past Sacred Heart of Jesus 11-1.
Jazmin Jaquez spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits.
On the hitting side, Abigail (Abi) Milton was incredible, going a perfect4-for-4 with two triples, two stolen bases, and three runs. What's more, she also posted four hits, the most she's had since back in February of 2024. Jaida Brown was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4.
Muir always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .588. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sacred Heart of Jesus only posted an OBP of .273.
Meanwhile, Duarte had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Garfield 10-9.
Duarte also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Alyssa Garcia gave up six earned (and three unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up nine Ks.
At the plate, Daniella Matiarena was a standout: she went 1-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Valeria Nunez, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.
