Glendale 6, Arcadia 4: The Nitros stunned the two-time defending Pacific League champions by rallying for four runs in the sixth inning on Wednesday.
Amy Bishop went the distance in the circle to pick up the win and also belted a mammoth two-run home run in the fourth inning.
“It’s a fun competitive game with them,” said Glendale Coach Christine Paknik, whose club narrowly lost to the Apaches 2-0 earlier this season. “I don’t know what it is, but we bring it against them.”
Trailing 4-2 entering the sixth, the Nitros (5-6 in league) got bases-loaded hits from Brittany Skoien, Christina Olivares, Tatiana Mejia and Samantha Dickens to take a lead they would never relinquish.
The Nitros will next face host Pasadena in another league game at 3:15 p.m. Friday.
