Firebaugh extended their losing streak to nine on Monday, dropping them down to 2-14. They fell 6-3 to the Monache Marauders. The Eagles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Marauders apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2023.
Firebaugh saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Emiliano Bautista, who went 1-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI. That run marked the first that Bautista has scored this season.
As for Monache, the win (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 14-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games.
On Monache's side, the team relied heavily on Benicio Mendoza, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave Mendoza a new career-high. Ethan Giannetto was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.

As for Monache, they are taking a road trip to challenge El Diamante at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Miners' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Marauders' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
