Trinity has enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will challenge the Enterprise Hornets at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Trinity is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.4 runs per game this season.
Last Monday, it was a hard-fought contest, but Trinity had to settle for a 17-15 defeat against Etna.
Jaden Brown was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring four runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Riley Short, who scored three runs while going 3-for-5.
Even though they lost, Trinity kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Meanwhile, Enterprise had to endure a nine-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top against Shasta by a score of 7-2 on Wednesday.
Jaylee Ponte spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Enterprise's win was truly a team effort as two different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Emma Souza, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
Trinity's loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 7-18. As for Enterprise, their victory ended a five-game drought at home and bumped them up to 4-11.
Trinity's speedy runners might be the difference in Thursday's matchup. Trinity has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.7 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Enterprise, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Trinity continue to outrun the ball?
Trinity might still be hurting after the 22-8 defeat they got from Enterprise in their previous matchup back in March. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Ponte, who struck out 11 batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and six unearned) runs off three hits. Now that Trinity knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
