The Donna Redskins will venture away from home to challenge the Pace Vikings at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Anaya Gonzalez was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one triple and two RBI. Victoria Lopez was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one triple and one run.
Meanwhile, Pace strolled into their game on Tuesday with an undefeated record and they left with the same. They walked away with a 6-3 win over Lopez.
Nubia Alvarado spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 17 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Maya Galvan was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Anafernanda Perez, who went 3-for-4 with one RBI.
Pace's record is now 23-0-1. As for Donna, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-15-1.
Thursday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Donna has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .439. However, it's not like Pace struggles in that department as they've averaged .508. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Donna might still be hurting after the 15-1 loss they got from Pace in their previous matchup back in March. Can the Redskins avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
