The Gardena Panthers will take on the King/Drew Golden Eagles in a tournament on Monday. Gardena is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.1 runs per game this season.
It was a proper cat-fight when Gardena duked it out with University last Saturday. The Panthers took a 6-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Wildcats. The game marked the Panthers' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Meanwhile, King/Drew came up short against Dominguez on Saturday, falling 13-2. The Golden Eagles have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Damian Lugo made the most of his time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of King/Drew's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 1-11 when he doesn't).
King/Drew's loss dropped their record down to 3-12. As for Gardena, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-7-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Gardena has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like King/Drew struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Gardena might still be hurting after the 12-0 loss they got from King/Drew in their previous matchup back in February of 2025. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
