South Broward came into this matchup off a tough 19-run defeat last Wednesday. This time they kept things ultra-competitive, but unfortunately the final result was the same. They fell just short of the Flanagan Falcons by a score of 5-3 on Monday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bulldogs of the 13-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2022.

Rocco Villella was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched 5.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off four hits. He also tossed two walks, which is notable because South Broward is 2-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 2-6-1 otherwise.
At the plate, South Broward saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Keniel Marrero, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
South Broward has also been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7-1 record this season. Flanagan's record is now 5-8.
