The Carson Colts will challenge the El Segundo Eagles at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Carson's win against Venice wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Colts narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Gondoliers 5-4. The Colts haven't had any issues with the Gondoliers recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Isabella Campos spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up ten Ks.
