The Sahuaro Cougars will head out on the road to take on the St. Mary's Knights at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Sahuaro can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Tuesday. They came up short against Desert View, falling 13-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Cougars have suffered against the Jaguars since February 26, 2016.
Sahuaro saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Lola Escarcega, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Mary's). Their pitchers stepped up to hand Coronado a 16-0 shutout on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won four contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Gianna Swingle was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Giahni Ruiz, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
St. Mary's was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .667. The last time their batting average was this high was back in February of 2024.
