Prospect had lost four straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 5-13 to make it five. They lost 11-1 to the Christopher Cougars. The Panthers were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Cougars earlier this season, when they won 4-2.
As for Christopher, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-7 record this season. Considering they have won 13 matchups by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
For Christopher's part, Katelyn Vega spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on one hit. Vega has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one hit in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Christopher got a massive performance out of Jersey Paredes, who went 3-for-4 with two triples, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those two triples gave Paredes a new career-high. Olivia Wilson also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.
We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Prospect is set to take on their familiar foe Evergreen Valley at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Christopher will square off against rival Piedmont Hills at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Cougars 3.2, the Pirates 1.7) so any runs scored will be well earned.
