On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Joey Romero, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. She also hit a double, marking her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Emilee Rivera, who scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.

Meanwhile, Ramona Convent lost 8-2 to Bishop Montgomery on Thursday. The Tigers have struggled against the Knights recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost meeting.

Ramona Convent saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Chloe Gonzalez, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.

Sierra Vista is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 6-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. Ramona Convent's defeat dropped their record down to 9-5.

Tuesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Sierra Vista hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .353. However, it's not like Ramona Convent struggles in that department as they've averaged .458. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
