Baseball Game Preview: San Diego Vaqueros vs. London Pirates

San Diego is 0-10 against London since April of 2019 but things could change on Tuesday. San Diego will be playing at home against London at 7:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (San Diego 3.4, London 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Last Friday, San Diego came up short against Orange Grove and fell 7-2.

Jayden Lozano was cooking despite his team's loss, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Jake Salinas, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask London). Their pitchers stepped up to hand Hebbronville a 13-0 shutout on Saturday. The Pirates have beaten the Longhorns the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Longhorns has come to flipping the script.

The team relied heavily on Zak Garcia, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Dax Williams, who scored a run while going 2-for-2.

London always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .625. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hebbronville only posted an OBP of .125.

London pushed their record up to 15-6 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for San Diego, their loss dropped their record down to 11-5-1.
