Saugus hasn't had much luck against West Ranch recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. Saugus will challenge West Ranch at 3:30 p.m. Saugus is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9 runs per game this season.
Saugus came into this matchup off a tough ten-run defeat on Friday. This time they kept things ultra-competitive, but unfortunately the final result was the same. They fell just short of Calabasas by a score of 10-8 on Saturday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Centurions have suffered since February 24th.
Jake Kaplan was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. Matthew Carta was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West Ranch). They never let Canyon get on the board and left with a 17-0 victory on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Omar Gutierrez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs while going 3-for-4. Those three runs gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Jonathan Crowley looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Those zero hits allowed gave him a new career-low.
Back at the plate, West Ranch got a massive performance out of Connor Clayton, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run and three RBI. Those three RBI gave Clayton a new career-high. Ryan Oh also deserves some recognition as he launched his first home run of the season.
West Ranch was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .515. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
West Ranch's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Saugus, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-4.
Saugus might still be hurting after the 9-2 defeat they got from West Ranch when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Can Saugus avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
