The Christopher Cougars will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Palma Chieftains at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
For some reason, the away team has come away with the win the last four times Christopher and North Salinas have met, but the home crowd finally got their W on Thursday. Christopher lost 9-2 to North Salinas.
Melissa Lugo was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3. Bella Loredo was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Palma unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of Rancho San Juan by a score of 10-9 on Thursday.
