San Marin Looks to Maintain Domination Over Terra Linda
This isn’t just a rivalry game—it feels like a measuring stick for who might take over the county this season. San Marin has built its recent run on patient at-bats, timely hits, and a pitching staff that rarely lets things get out of hand.
The Trojans, meanwhile, are looking to shake off old patterns. They’re hoping to find some steadiness on the mound and at the plate as they make the short trip from San Anselmo to the Mustangs’ home turf.
Recent Form and Key Contributors
San Marin just rolled past Archie Williams, 15-6, notching their fifth straight win against them. Emery Ellinthorpe handled the pitching, giving up four earned runs and two unearned on 12 hits.
Arianna Mendoze led the offense, going 4-for-6 with four runs, four RBIs, and two doubles. Alina Rempe chipped in, finishing 3-for-5 with five runs and two doubles.
The Mustangs’ line-drive approach has cranked up the team batting average to .343 and their on-base percentage to a wild .520. That’s the kind of stat line that can spark big innings at any Marin County ballpark.
Terra Linda’s Challenge
On the other side, Terra Linda comes in with a 1-6 record. The Trojans did show some offensive firepower in a wild game against San Rafael, putting up 23 runs but still dropping it 30-23.
Lacey Graham stood out at the plate, going 3-for-5 with five runs and two triples. Piper Stewart went 4-for-5 with four runs and a double.
Even with all that hitting, Terra Linda is still searching for answers on the mound and in the field. Their team batting average sits at a surprisingly strong .372, so Wednesday’s game might turn into a slugfest. Wouldn’t that be something for Marin County softball fans in Larkspur and San Rafael?
What to Expect Wednesday Night in Marin
Wednesday’s 6:30 p.m. tilt should test both teams’ pitching and offensive firepower. Fans across Marin—from Novato’s trails to San Rafael’s busy neighborhoods, through San Anselmo’s downtown, and over to Larkspur’s waterfront—will get a front-row seat to a truly competitive game.
This matchup could shape late-season goals for both programs. San Marin will probably lean on Ellinthorpe’s steady control and their top batters, who’ve been carrying them all year.
Terra Linda wants to press for speed on the bases and get production from the middle of their lineup. They’ll try to spark a comeback on familiar home turf near Archie Williams and across the county line.
