The Metro Tech Knights will challenge the Alhambra Lions at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Thursday, Metro Tech didn't have quite enough to beat Fairfax and fell 14-13. The Knights have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, Alhambra got the win against McClintock on Friday by a conclusive 13-4. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.
Ricardo Fonseca made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out nine batters over 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off only two hits. Fonseca was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That triple marked the first that he hit this season.
In other batting news, Jose Emilio Mendez was excellent, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2. Christopher Martinez was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.
Alhambra always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as McClintock only posted an OBP of .276.
Alhambra has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. Metro Tech's loss dropped their record down to 2-5.
