Baseball Preview: Mayfair Monsoons vs. Paramount Pirates

Suggested Video

Mayfair is on a four-game streak of home wins, while Paramount is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Monsoons will welcome the Pirates at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Mayfair 2.9, Paramount 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.

If Mayfair beats Paramount with 21 runs on Tuesday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matchups with that exact score. The Monsoons beat Lynwood last Friday by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 21-1. The result was nothing new for the Monsoons, who have now won nine games by seven runs or more so far this season.
