The matchup between Central City Value and Downtown Magnets on Friday hardly resembled the 0-0 effort from their previous meeting. The Jaguars were the clear victors by a 32-9 margin over the Suns. That 23 run margin sets a new team best for the Jaguars this season.
Mercedes Ponce made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Ponce was even better at the plate, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played.
In other batting news, Gabriela Sanchez was a standout: she went 3-for-5 with six RBI, two stolen bases, and three runs. Emily Gonzalez also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
