The Los Altos Eagles will venture away from home to take on the Westmont Warriors at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Los Altos will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each matchup than the last.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times Los Altos and Gunn had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Eagles came out on top against the Titans by a score of 10-5 last Thursday.
Los Altos let Makayla Mase and Lila Neugebauer run wild. Mase got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base, while Neugebauer went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI Neugebauer has posted since back in March. Monica Oseguera also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Westmont, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out Leland 3-2 last Thursday.
Regan Steele spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Westmont's win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lily Ortiz, who went 1-for-3 with two runs.
Los Altos' victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-10. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Westmont, their record now sits at 13-14.
Los Altos might still be hurting after the 11-4 loss they got from Westmont when the teams last played back in April. Can the Eagles avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
