Roslyn Fresquez was incredible, firing off two home runs, four runs, and five RBI while going 3-for-4. That's the most hits she has posted since back in August. The team also got some help courtesy of Alena Martinez, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Mullen has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Centaurus struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Mullen beat Centaurus 10-7 in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
