Immaculata-La Salle had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over the Miami Stingarees. The result was nothing new for the Royal Lions, who have now won eight games by six runs or more so far this season.

Immaculata-La Salle got a great performance from Alexander Corzo as he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. Corzo has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Connor Hernandez was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Jonny Quintana, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one double and one RBI.

Immaculata-La Salle's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Miami, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-4.

Coming up, Immaculata-La Salle will be playing in front of their home fans against Reagan at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Royal Lions are facing the Bison at the right time seeing as the Bison are stuck on a five-game losing streak. As for Miami, they are taking a road trip to square off against Somerset Academy South Homestead at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Hurricanes have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.33 runs per game on average), something the Stingarees will no doubt try to take advantage of.
