The Colonists will head out to  take on the Falcons  at 3:00  p.m. Neither Anaheim nor Santa Ana Valley posted many  runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">Anaheim is probably headed into the  matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering University just ended the team&#8217;s  nine-game winning streak  on Tuesday. They came up short against  the Trojans, falling  8-0. For those keeping track at home, that&#8217;s the biggest  defeat the Colonists have suffered  since February 24th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> Anaheim saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/anaheim\/anaheim-colonists\/athletes\/abby-barajas\/?careerid=qhdf266hum5m6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Abby Barajas<\/a>, who  went 1-for-2 with one  double.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Santiago hit Santa Ana Valley with a six-run sixth inning  on Wednesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Falcons lost  13-1 to the Cavaliers. The Falcons haven&#8217;t had much luck with the Cavaliers recently, as the team has come up short the last five times they&#8217;ve met.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Anaheim suffered their first road  loss, dropping their record down to 14-6. As for Santa Ana Valley, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\">Santa Ana Valley&#8217;s pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them:  Anaheim hasn&#8217;t had any issues making contact this season,  having earned a batting average of .438. It&#8217;s a different story for Santa Ana Valley, though, as  they&#8217;ve  only  averaged .256. Will they be able to contain Anaheim&#8217;s hitters?<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:7\"> Everything went Anaheim&#8217;s way against Santa Ana Valley in their previous meeting  two weeks ago, as Anaheim made off with  a  15-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Colonists since the  team won&#8217;t have the home-field advantage this time around. We&#8217;ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"vs 04\/15\/26 &#8211; Home15-0 W03\/27\/26 &#8211; Away11-2 W04\/19\/24 &#8211; Away10-2 W04\/09\/24 &#8211; Home16-1 W04\/25\/23 &#8211; Away13-2 W+ 5&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-295597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
