University extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to seven on Tuesday, dropping them down to 0-6. They lost 24-2 to the East Orange Campus Jaguars. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Phoenix of the 16-5 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2023.
East Orange Campus' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-2. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for they considering their one-run performance the contest before.
For East Orange Campus' part, Adrian Guevara made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 12 batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. Those 12 strikeouts gave Guevara a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-5 with four runs and three RBI.
In other batting news, Zhamir Hinton was a standout: he got on base in five of his six plate appearances with two stolen bases, five RBI, and two runs. Jeremy Perez was another key player, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs and four RBI.
While University had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
