Springfield Gardens had lost eight straight at home dating back to last season, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 2-10 to make it nine. They came up short against the Jamaica Beavers, falling 17-7. The Golden Eagles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Beavers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
As for Jamaica, the victory got them back to even at 7-7. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by eight runs or more this season.
For Jamaica's part, Jasiah Curry made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over three innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off only two hits. Curry was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-6 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. Jamaica is undefeated when Curry posts two or more stolen bases, but 1-7 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Joshua Fonseca, who got on base in five of his six plate appearances with three stolen bases, four runs, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Jamaica's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 4-6 when he doesn't). Kendrik Meneses was another key player, getting on base in five of his six plate appearances with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run.
As of now, neither Springfield Gardens nor Jamaica have any future games scheduled.
