The Johnson Warriors will challenge the Christian Brothers Falcons at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Johnson comes in on four and Christian Brothers on three.
Johnson had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 18-run drubbing they dealt Natomas on Friday. Johnson never let Natomas get on the board and left with an 18-0 win. With that victory, the Warriors brought their scoring average up to 8.5 runs per game.
Anissa Zavala and DeAhjanuque Salter were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Zavala tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Salter pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Zavala has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. At bat, Zavala went 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI, while Salter scored a run while going 1-for-3. That home run marked the first that Zavala launched this season.
