The Eagle Rock Eagles will venture away from home to take on the Hoover Tornados at 3:10 p.m. on Thursday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Eagle Rock managed to slip by Rancho Dominguez the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Eagles lost 11-0 to the Lobos on Monday.
Eagle Rock saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Noah Higuera Reyes, who went 1-for-3 with one double.
Meanwhile, Hoover and Burbank finished up their contest with a 2-2 tie on Tuesday.
Jesse Carbonneau spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up 11 Ks.
Eagle Rock now has a losing record of 1-2. Hoover's tie makes their record 3-1-1 this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Eagle Rock has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Hoover struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Eagle Rock skirted past Hoover 9-8 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Will the Eagles repeat their success, or do the Tornados have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
