Duarte had lost three straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 5-8 to make it four. They lost 8-0 to the Muir Mustangs. If the Falcons were looking for revenge after losing 9-0 to the Mustangs when the teams met back in February of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Muir, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 6-6. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by eight runs or more this season.
For Muir's part, Luca Cano and Ezekiel Rodriguez were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Cano didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched. Meanwhile, Rodriguez pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Muir is 2-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 4-5 otherwise. At the plate, Cano got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most runs Cano has posted since back in February.
