Etiwanda barely beat King the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Everything went the Etiwanda Eagles' way against the King Wolves on Saturday as the Etiwanda Eagles made off with a 10-2 win. Considering the Eagles have won six contests by more than seven runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Alyssa Galindo made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing six innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Karrington Bennett, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. What's more, she posted two RBI, the most she's had since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Frankie Nevarez, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.

Etiwanda is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. With the defeat, King broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 3-3.

Coming up, Etiwanda will be taking part in a tournament against Cajon at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Cajon has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.75 runs per game on average), something Etiwanda will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for King, they will venture away from home to take on Vista Murrieta at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
