Preview: Browne Bruins vs. Cesar Chavez Champions
The Browne Bruins will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against the Cesar Chavez Champions at 3:45 p.m. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Browne proved they can win big two weeks ago (they won by 14) but on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past West Point 11-9.
Abraham Guzman was incredible, going 3-for-4 with a home run, three additional RBI, and an additional run. Another player making a difference was Sebastian Fuentes, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.
Meanwhile, Cesar Chavez came into Monday's matchup having lost three straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They had just enough and edged San Luis out 3-2. The win was just what Cesar Chavez needed coming off of a 13-3 defeat in their prior contest.
JAIDAN TAFOYA spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just one earned (and one unearned) run on nine hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Cesar Chavez got a big performance out of ROBERT SAHUAQUI, who went 2-for-3 with a triple. The team also got some help courtesy of ADOLFO PACHECO, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
The victory got Browne back to even at 4-4. As for Cesar Chavez, they pushed their record up to 9-6 with that win, which was their fifth straight at home.
Wednesday's match will be a test for both team's pitchers. Browne hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .316. However, it's not like Cesar Chavez struggles in that department as they've averaged .350. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Browne might still be hurting after the 16-2 loss they got from Cesar Chavez in their previous meeting back in February. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Cesar Chavez's XAVIER LOPEZ, who didn't allow a single earned run and only a hit while striking out six over four innings pitched. Now that Browne knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
