The Sylmar Spartans will venture away from home to challenge the Poly Parrots at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Poly will be up against a hot Sylmar team: the squad just extended their winning streak to three. Sylmar's pitcher stepped up to hand Verdugo Hills a 10-0 shutout on Thursday. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three contests by ten runs or more this season.
Timothy Sepulveda was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, one run, and one double. Another player making a difference was Victor Espinoza, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2.
Sylmar was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .476. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .360 or higher in three consecutive games.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Poly). They blew past North Hollywood 14-1 on Thursday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Parrots.
Sylmar pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Poly, their victory bumped their record up to 7-4.
Sylmar came out on top in a nail-biter against Poly in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sylmar since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
