Esperanza and Brea Olinda are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2022, but likely not for long. The Aztecs will face off against the Wildcats at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
Esperanza is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Sonora just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They lost 13-1 to the Raiders. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Aztecs have suffered since March 15th.
Esperanza saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Tungsten DeArte, who went 1-for-2 with one double.
Meanwhile, Brea Olinda gave up the first runs on Saturday, but they didn't let that get them down. They put the hurt on Sonora with a sharp 8-1 victory. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Nicholas Rodriguez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up nine Ks. Those nine strikeouts set a new season-high mark for him.
At the plate, Nick Davis was excellent, scoring a run while going 3-for-4. Matthew Cosylion also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Brea Olinda has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Esperanza, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-8.
Esperanza might still be hurting after the 9-0 loss they got from Brea Olinda when the teams last played back in March. Can the Aztecs avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
