The West Adams Panthers will be playing at home against the Santee Falcons at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
West Adams had to kick off their season on the road last Wednesday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past Diego Rivera 23-9.
Meanwhile, in what's become a running theme this season, Santee gave their fans yet another huge win on Wednesday. Everything went their way against Manual Arts as Santee made off with a 23-4 victory. The win was familiar territory for Santee who now have three in a row.
Hailey Perez and Giselle Pelayo were a major factor while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Perez pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (she also didn't allow any walks). Meanwhile, Pelayo tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. At bat, Perez scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances, while Pelayo got on base in all four of her plate appearances with a home run, three RBI, and a double. Perez is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stolen at least one in the last three games she's played.
In other batting news, Santee let Rose Reyes and Alondra Huerta loose on the outfield. Reyes went 3-for-3 with a home run, two stolen bases, and five RBI, while Huerta got on base in four of her five plate appearances with a home run, four runs, and five RBI. Huerta has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Alexandra Rodriguez, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.
West Adams suffered a grim 16-5 defeat to Santee in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Thankfully for West Adams, Mariah Rosales (who struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off three hits) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
