The Centaurus Warriors will take on the Arvada Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Centaurus will stroll in with a six game home winning streak (dating back to last season), but they should still watch out: the last time they lost at home was their October 3 matchup with Arvada.
On Monday, Centaurus had just enough and edged Peak to Peak out 8-7.
Nora Midness spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered six earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up six Ks. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 5.1 innings per game.
On the hitting side, Penny Fisher was excellent, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Morgan Sizemore, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Centaurus was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Peak to Peak only posted a batting average of .167.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Arvada). They put the hurt on Bennett with a sharp 21-1 victory on Thursday. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by ten runs or more this season.
Alyssa Moreno was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). Moreno was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple.
In other batting news, Amiah Picaso was incredible, going 2-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and a triple. She is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stolen at least one in the last four games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Alicia Montoya, who scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Centaurus is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a nice bump to their 8-2 record this season. As for Arvada, their win bumped their record up to 7-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Centaurus has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Arvada struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.2. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Centaurus might still be hurting after the 20-5 loss they got from Arvada in their previous meeting back in October of 2023. Can Centaurus avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
