Salesian College Preparatory's game last Wednesday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Friday. They never let the De Anza Dons get on the board and left with an 11-0 win. Considering the Pride have won four matchups by more than nine runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

DeAmor Coleman made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.

Coleman wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Mia Villanueva, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. What's more, Villanueva posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in May of 2024. Another was Matea Gaddies, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI.

Salesian College Preparatory was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .391. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Salesian College Preparatory is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.6 runs over those games. De Anza is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5.

Coming up, Salesian College Preparatory will take on Northgate at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Salesian College Preparatory 3.7, Northgate 2) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for De Anza, they will face off against San Leandro at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. San Leandro will roll in looking for their eighth straight win, something De Anza surely won't give up without a fight.
