Etiwanda took a eight-run loss the last time they faced off against Yucaipa, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Etiwanda Eagles narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Yucaipa Thunderbirds 5-4. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Eagles have posted since June 1, 2024.
Kimberlee Aleman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on three hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned runs in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Dailynn Battee, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Alyssa Galindo, who went 1-for-2 with one home run.
Battee wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Etiwanda lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. Etiwanda is a perfect 5-0 when they post two or more home runs.
Etiwanda is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. Yucaipa moved to 5-2 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Coincidentally, Etiwanda and Yucaipa will both be playing King the next time they take the field. Yucaipa will host King at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, while Etiwanda will play them later in the day, at 3:00 p.m.
