Morgan Park dropped their record down to 13-7-2 on Sunday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins. They came up short against the Kenwood Broncos, falling 11-4. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Broncos this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 10-2 last Saturday.

As for Kenwood, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games.

For Kenwood's part, the team relied heavily on Lance Moon, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave Moon a new career-high. Damaurion Butler was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Looking ahead, Morgan Park will challenge Simeon at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Wolverines have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.09 runs per game on average), something the Mustangs will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Kenwood, they will square off against Solorio at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
