The Marshall Barristers will take on the Marquez Gladiators at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Marshall proved they can win big two weeks ago (they won by 11) and last Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 9-7 win over Arleta.
The team relied heavily on Samantha Nunez, who went 1-for-5 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Arianna Carrera, who scored two runs while going 1-for-4.
Meanwhile, Marquez put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They were the clear victors by an 18-8 margin over Maywood Academy. 18 seems to be a good number for the Gladiators as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Marquez pushed their record up to 9-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Marshall, their record is now 2-0.
