Parlier extended their losing streak to three on Monday, dropping their season record down to 4-10 in the process. They took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Caruthers Blue Raiders. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Panthers of the 15-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
As for Caruthers, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-13 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games.
For Caruthers' part, Tony Moreno made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Moreno has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with four stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Caruthers' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-2 (and 3-11 when he doesn't).
Moreno wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Uriel Reyes, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Caruthers didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 6-1 defeat against Fowler on the 30th. Hopefully Parlier paid attention to the Blue Raiders' game: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Blue Raiders at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
