The Benicia Panthers are taking a road trip to take on the College Park Falcons at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Benicia's pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so College Park's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Benicia took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out Alhambra 4-3. The Panthers haven't had any issues with the Bulldogs recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Alana Robinson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on four hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
