Mayfield is 8-2 against Polytechnic since April of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Mayfield Cubs are taking a road trip to square off against the Polytechnic Panthers at 4:00 p.m.
Mayfield is headed into the match having just suffered their biggest loss since March 14, 2024 on Tuesday. They lost 14-5 to Flintridge Prep.
Meanwhile, Polytechnic owes their pitching crew a big pat on the back after their performance on Tuesday. They came out on top against Rio Hondo Prep by a score of 5-0. The five-run effort marked the Panthers' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Rio Hondo Prep's batters probably weren't too happy with Amelia Shih, who pitched a no hitter and racked up eight Ks (she gave up zero walks). Furthermore, Shih didn't allow a single hit, the first time she has blanked an opponent since back in February of 2024.
At the plate, Polytechnic saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ellery Engstrom, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Eila Chan also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Polytechnic now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Mayfield, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-5-2 record this season.
Everything went Mayfield's way against Polytechnic when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Mayfield made off with a 9-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mayfield since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
