The Sierra Pacific Golden Bears will take on the Golden West Trailblazers in a tournament on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Sierra Pacific had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 victory over Dos Palos on Tuesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Golden Bears have posted since April 5, 2024.
Anaya Zaragoza spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on five hits and racked up six Ks. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April of 2024.
On the hitting side, Sierra Pacific let Brooklyn Webb and Miranda Reyes run wild. Webb went 1-for-3 with one home run, while Reyes scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Kelsee Hanson, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, after only two runs in their last match, Golden West made sure to put some runs up on the board against Arroyo Grande on Saturday. Everything went Golden West's way against Arroyo Grande as Golden West made off with a 16-1 victory.
The team relied heavily on Kirsten Williams, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Hayden Oliveira was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.
Golden West always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .513. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Arroyo Grande only posted an OBP of .167.
Sierra Pacific might still be hurting after the 13-3 defeat they got from Golden West in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Can Sierra Pacific avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
