Raymundo Banuelos and Johnny Galvan dominated on the mound. Banuelos tossed four innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits, while Galvan pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Galvan also tossed no walks, which is notable because Paramount is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 5-6 otherwise.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jacob Quinones, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-1. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (two). Another player making a difference was Luis Banuelos, who scored three runs while going 1-for-3.

Meanwhile, Norwalk suffered their closest loss since February 17th on Friday. They fell just short of Mayfair by a score of 5-3. The Lancers haven't had much luck with the Monsoons recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.

Angel Martinez and Marcus Castillo stepped up to the plate in a big way. Martinez scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3, while Castillo went 2-for-4 with one triple and one run. That triple was Castillo's first of the season.

Paramount pushed their record up to 8-6 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.2 runs over those games. As for Norwalk, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-7.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Paramount has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Norwalk struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Paramount might still be hurting after the 8-1 loss they got from Norwalk in their previous matchup on March 11th. Will Paramount 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.
