Hart is taking a road trip to square off against Saugus at 3:30 p.m. Hart knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past three games -- so hopefully Saugus likes a good challenge.

Meanwhile, Saugus can bid farewell to their four-game losing streak thanks to their game on Saturday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Sylmar 3-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Centurions have posted since March 1st.
Ming Lee looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched.
At the plate, Saugus saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Justin Barrett, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI.
Hart is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. Saugus' record now sits at 10-6.
Hart couldn't quite get it done against Saugus in their previous matchup back in March of 2024 as they fell 5-1. Can Hart avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
