Dominguez extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to six on Tuesday, dropping them down to 0-4. They lost 19-0 to the Paramount Pirates. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Dons of the 24-0 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
As for Paramount, the victory (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 10-4-1. Considering they have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
For Paramount's part, Laritza Esparza made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). Those six strikeouts gave Esparza a new career-high. She was even better at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with seven stolen bases, four runs, and two doubles. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
In other batting news, Zariah MORENO was a standout: she got on base in all four of her plate appearances with six stolen bases and three runs. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Georgina Perez, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, three RBI, and one run.
Looking ahead, Dominguez will challenge Lynwood at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. As for Paramount, they will be playing in front of their home fans against South Gate at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Rams have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.42 runs per game on average), something the Pirates will no doubt try to take advantage of.
