The Narbonne Gauchos will challenge the Bell Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Bell took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Narbonne, who comes in off a win.
On Wednesday, Narbonne made easy work of USC-MAE and carried off a 16-8 win. The victory continues a trend for the Gauchos in their matchups with the Trojans: they've now won three in a row.
Samantha Dillon spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and five unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 14 Ks.

Another player making a difference was Cheyenne Bennett, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
Narbonne was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .316 or higher in seven consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Bell had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 11-1 to Wilson on Wednesday.
Bell saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Telly Mendoza, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases. Hailey Medina was another, earning one run and two stolen bases.
Everything went Narbonne's way against Bell when the teams last played back in February of 2025, as Narbonne made off with an 11-1 win. Will the Gauchos repeat their success, or do the Eagles have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
