Hialeah Gardens had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Hialeah on Thursday. The Hialeah Gardens Gladiators blew past the Hialeah Thoroughbreds 15-3. Considering the Gladiators have won four contests by more than 11 runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Delania Aleman and Krystina Martinez did most of the damage at the plate: Aleman went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI, while Martinez went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Martinez has been hot recently, having posted three or more hits the last three times she's played. Another player making a difference was Kylie Brenner, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Hialeah Gardens lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in March of 2024.

Hialeah Gardens pushed their record up to 5-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to hits: they averaged an imposing 16.5 hits in those games compared to only 4.5 in the others. As for Hialeah, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-4.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Hialeah Gardens will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on American at 3:30 p.m. on April 2nd. After both having extra time off, Hialeah and Miami Beach will dust off their jerseys to square off against one another at 3:00 p.m. on April 1st. Hialeah has given up an average of 8.7 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
