Baseball Game Preview: Floresville Tigers/Jaguars vs. Warren Warriors

The Floresville Tigers/Jaguars will venture away from home to take on the Warren Warriors at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Floresville's pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so Warren's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Floresville was handed a 11-run loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Tuesday. They won by a run and slipped past Somerset 2-1. The victory continues a trend for the Tigers/Jaguars in their matchups with the Bulldogs: they've now won five in a row.

Bryan Cardenas spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 12 Ks. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in strikeouts.

On the hitting side, Floresville's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Emmett Nettles, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3. Nettles is becoming a predictor of Floresville's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-6 when he doesn't).

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Warren). They blew past Holmes 19-5 on Tuesday. The victory was familiar territory for the Warriors, who have now won three matchups in a row.

The team relied heavily on Joaquin Guerra, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Matthew Gonzales, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI.

Warren kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 9.2.

Floresville's record is now 9-6. As for Warren, their record is now 4-6.
