Artesia hasn't had much luck against Cerritos recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Pioneers will take on the Dons at 3:15 p.m. Artesia is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10 runs per game this season.
Artesia had taken Pioneer down for two straight games at home, but that winning streak came to an end on Monday. The Pioneers fell just short of the Titans by a score of 5-4.
Pacifica Hamilton was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one double. Another player making a difference was Kaleyse Foster, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Meanwhile, Cerritos came tearing into Friday's match with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Patriots a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Dons have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Cerritos' win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Artesia, their loss dropped their record down to 10-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Artesia has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Cerritos struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Artesia might still be hurting after the 15-2 defeat they got from Cerritos in their previous meeting back in March. Can the Pioneers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
