The Hialeah Thoroughbreds will challenge the Miami Beach Hi-Tides at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Last Friday, Hialeah didn't have quite enough to beat South Broward and fell 5-4. The Thoroughbreds have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Rolando Vergara was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Alex Perez was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and one triple. That triple marked the first that he hit this season. Another player making a difference was Joshua Giron, who went 2-for-3 with one triple and two RBI.
Meanwhile, Miami Beach came up short against Canterbury on Friday and fell 8-3.
Miami Beach also got a good showing from Daniel Garcia, who pitched 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Garcia is becoming a predictor of Miami Beach's success: when he allows at most two hits the team is 6-3 (and 2-7 when he doesn't).
On the hitting side, Lenonx Munoz made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Miami Beach has also been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-10 record this season. Hialeah's loss dropped their record down to 4-7.
