The Colton Yellowjackets will be playing at home against the Carter Lions at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Carter took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Colton, who comes in off a win.
Colton had to endure a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Jurupa Hills on Thursday and snuck past 3-2. The win was just what Colton needed coming off of a 10-2 defeat in their prior contest.
Aiden Segura spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on seven hits.
At the plate, Azael Hernandez was excellent, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-2. Another player making a difference was Steven Aguayo, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with a double and an RBI.
Meanwhile, Carter was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 9-2 to Grand Terrace, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior.
Carter saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Nathan Zepeda, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
Colton's victory bumped their record up to 11-8-1. As for Carter, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-12.
Colton might still be hurting after the 8-2 loss they got from Carter when the teams last played back in March. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Carter's Richard Navarro, who struck out seven batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off eight hits (and not a single walk). Now that Colton knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
