The Esperanza Aztecs will face off against the Northwood Timberwolves at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
If Northwood heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Esperanza took over last week. Esperanza had just enough and edged Tustin out 2-1. Manny Aguayo had to tread lightly for part of the match after he was hit with a yellow card, but that was the only trouble the Aztecs got from the refs.
Esperanza now has a winning record of 1-0-1. As for Northwood, they've got a clean slate. Last year, they finished on the right side of .500 (10-4-7), and they're hoping to kick off an even more successful campaign this year.
Esperanza beat Northwood 3-1 in their previous matchup back in December of 2017. The rematch might be a little tougher for Esperanza since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
