The Berkeley Yellowjackets will take on the Miramonte Matadors at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Berkeley has three straight wins, Miramonte has seven straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Berkeley's pitching crew heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They didn't even let Alameda on the board, marking Berkeley's second-straight 3-0 shutout. The game snapped a strange streak: the last six times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Not much got past Quinton Hill, who gave up just a hit to keep Alameda off the board. That one hit allowed gave Hill a new career-low.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Akanni Owodunni, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Meanwhile, Miramonte fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Benicia on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 3-2.
Casey Yung was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. Yung was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That run was his first of the season.
Yung wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was George Gilbert, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI. Those hits marked the first that Gilbert got this season.
The victory got Berkeley back to even at 5-5. As for Miramonte, their loss dropped their record down to 1-7.
