The Estero Wildcats will take on the Mariner Tritons at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. Estero is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.1 runs per game this season.
Estero easily dispatched Bonita Springs last Thursday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. The Wildcats fell just short of Neumann by a score of 3-1 on Thursday. Having soared to a lofty 18 runs in the game before, the Wildcats couldn't push the score so high this time.
Annika Jarvi was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she pitched six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
Meanwhile, Mariner had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.6 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-1 victory over the Raiders.
Gabi Winters spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up 12 Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Morgan Tucker, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. What's more, she posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in February. Another player making a difference was Mia Standard, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Mariner pushed their record up to 14-4 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Estero, their defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-7.
Both Estero and Mariner just can't seem to miss. The Wildcats have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.1 hits per game. However, it's not like Mariner struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 3.5 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
