Piscataway had lost three straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped down to 5-4 to make it four. They came up short against the Carteret Ramblers, falling 9-2. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Chiefs of the 9-3 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2025.
As for Carteret, their record is now 10-1. Considering they have won five matchups by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
For Carteret's part, Luis Hernandez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits.
On the hitting side, Carteret let Joniel Martinez and Erick Martinez run wild. Joniel went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI, while Erick went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. Those two doubles gave Erick a new career-high. Jean Ledesma also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Looking ahead, Piscataway will host Piscataway Vo-Tech at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Carteret will be paying especially close attention to the Chiefs' game: after the Chiefs face off against the Raiders, they'll take on Carteret again at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
