The Marquez Gladiators will take on the Torres Toros at 1:15 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Marquez 3.1, Torres 2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Marquez is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They blew past Elizabeth 25-1 on Wednesday. Considering the Gladiators have won eight matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, Torres posted their closest win since April 18, 2024 on Friday. They won by a run and slipped past Maywood CES 2-1.
Angel Tostado spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on six hits and racked up nine Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Torres' victory was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Abraham Cardenas, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. Cardenas is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last 12 games he's played.
Torres pushed their record up to 11-2 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.7 runs over those games. As for Marquez, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season.
