For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Mountain View and Casa Grande meet (two straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Thursday. The Mountain Lions might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 4-3 to the Cougars, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Cougars this season, with their most recent defeat being a 4-3 loss last Wednesday.
Mountain View's loss was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-16. As for Casa Grande, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 11-9.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mountain View will host Canyon del Oro at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Casa Grande, they will challenge Flowing Wells at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Caballeros have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.33 runs per game on average), something the Cougars will no doubt try to take advantage of.
