Loara had lost three games on the road, but after bumping their record up to 8-8 on Friday that streak is in the rearview.

That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 6-2 on April 2nd.
As for La Quinta, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-9 record this season. They have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
For La Quinta's part, Julainy Castanon spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and six unearned) runs on seven hits. Castanon has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kailey Huynh was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI. Raellie Faatuga was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three RBI.
