Glenn is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They blew past Compton Early College 13-3 on Friday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Eagles with their most commanding win of the season.
Michael Perez was a major factor no matter where he played. He tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (two). He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Evan Perez, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2025. Another player making a difference was Jonah Mason, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases and three runs.

Whitney saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ryder Licon, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double. David Trujillo was another, going 1-for-2 with two runs.
Glenn's win bumped their record up to 3-7. As for Whitney, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-7.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Glenn has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Whitney struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.1 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
