Norte Vista dropped their record down to 8-12 on Monday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins. They lost 9-0 to the La Sierra Eagles. The Braves were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Eagles earlier this season, when they won 7-6.

As for La Sierra, the victory was the sixth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 10-11. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games.

For La Sierra's part, the result came thanks to Matthew Ortiz's shutout, as he gave up just six hits and racked up six Ks. Ortiz also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because the Eagles are 3-1 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 7-10 otherwise.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Joshua Leon, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base. That stolen base was his first of the season. Aaron Vazquez was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.

While Norte Vista had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.
