El Segundo and South are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2018, but likely not for long. The Eagles will venture away from home to take on the Spartans at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. El Segundo is coming into the contest hot, having won their last 13 games.
El Segundo had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Venice on Monday. The Eagles put the hurt on the Gondoliers with a sharp 15-3 victory. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by six runs or more this season.
Molly McAndrews and Jacy Lindsay dominated on the mound. McAndrews pitched four innings while giving up three earned runs off four hits, while Lindsay tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Lindsay has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Carter Cswaykus was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Sienna Mayer, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2.
El Segundo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .636. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for South, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. They blew past North 12-6 last Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Spartans have posted against the Saxons since April 24, 2019.
El Segundo's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for South, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-9 record this season.
El Segundo beat South 7-3 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
