It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Redondo Union had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They won by a run and slipped past the Yucaipa Thunderbirds 2-1. The victory was familiar territory for the Sea Hawks, who have now won three games in a row.
Bailey Murray spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one walk in 23 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Abby Luis, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run. The team also got some help courtesy of Kendra Mura, who went 1-for-3 with one home run.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Redondo Union lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in March of 2024.
