Andrew Ruiz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up 14 Ks. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Compton is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 3-5 otherwise.
At the plate, Compton saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jeisar Morales, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dominguez). They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 16-14 win over Lynwood on Thursday. The victory continues a trend for the Dons in their matchups with the Knights: they've now won six in a row.
Ryan Flores and Benjamin Suarez did most of the damage at the plate: Flores got on base in all five of his plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Suarez went 4-for-5 with three runs, three doubles, and four RBI. The dominant performance also gave Flores a new career-high in hits (three). Another player making a difference was Angel Lopez, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and two RBI.
Compton's win bumped their record up to 11-5. As for Dominguez, they picked up their first road victory, bumping their record up to 4-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Compton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Dominguez struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Compton suffered a grim 9-1 defeat to Dominguez when the teams last played back in May of 2025. Will the Tarbabes have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
