Roosevelt extended their losing streak to five on Monday, dropping their season record down to 8-15 in the process. They took a 3-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the South East Jaguars. The Rough Riders were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Jaguars apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
As for South East, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-15 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games.
For South East's part, Jayden Cortez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over seven innings pitched. Cortez has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, earning one run and two stolen bases.
Cortez wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Anthony Santos, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base and one run. That's the most hits Santos has posted since back in March. Nathan Munoz also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Looking ahead, Roosevelt will head out to square off against Woodrow Wilson at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. South East will be paying especially close attention to the Rough Riders' game: after the Rough Riders face off against the Bruins, they'll take on South East again at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
