University Prep came up short on Tuesday despite Robert Figueroa delivering his best game to date. Silverado had no answer to Figueroa as he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off seven hits. Figueroa has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Figueroa and University Prep will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against Big Bear at 3:15 p.m. Figueroa has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.7 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Big Bear has only allowed 5.89 per game this season.
