Rutgers Prep is on a three-game streak of home wins, while Phillipsburg is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Argonauts will host the Stateliners at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Rutgers Prep is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.3 runs per game this season.
Rutgers Prep's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They walked away with a 5-0 victory over Somerville. That's two games straight that the Argonauts have won by exactly five runs.
Somerville's batters probably weren't too happy with Li Perez, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 13 Ks (he gave up two walks). Perez has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Alex Perez, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Ethan Nepomuceno, who went 1-for-2 with three RBI.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Phillipsburg). They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 14-12 win over Freedom on Monday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Stateliners have posted since April 9th.
Rutgers Prep's win bumped their record up to 9-2. As for Phillipsburg, they now have a winning record of 7-6.
Rutgers Prep skirted past Phillipsburg 6-4 in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. Will the Argonauts repeat their success, or do the Stateliners have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
