Browne is a perfect 9-0 against South Mountain since February of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. Browne will square off against South Mountain at 3:45 p.m. Browne is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.8 runs per game this season.
Browne is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Independence just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Monday. They fell just short of the Patriots by a score of 4-3.
Shyla Vasquez was huge no matter where she played even without the win. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run. That home run was her first of the season.
Vasquez wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Anahi Rocha, who scored a run while going 2-for-4. Another was Tunisia Rios, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, South Mountain fell victim to Marcos de Niza and their airtight pitching crew on Friday. They came up short against the Padres, falling 13-0. Having soared to a lofty 15 runs in the game before, the Jaguars' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
This is the second loss in a row for South Mountain and nudges their season record down to 6-6. As for Browne, the defeat was their first at home , dropping their record down to 9-3.
Tuesday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Browne has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .548. However, it's not like South Mountain struggles in that department as they've averaged .491. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Browne took their victory against South Mountain in their previous meeting back in April of 2022 by a conclusive 13-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for Browne since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
