Paramount hadn't done well against Long Beach Poly recently (they were 0-3 in their previous three matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Pirates put the hurt on the Jackrabbits with a sharp 9-2 win. Considering the Pirates have won seven contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Luis Banuelos made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.

In other batting news, Nicholas MediNa was excellent, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was DaviD Serrano, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

The victory was the sixth in a row for Paramount, bringing their record up to 15-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Long Beach Poly, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-7 record this season.

Paramount will square off against Mary Star of the Sea at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Long Beach Poly will be paying especially close attention to the Pirates' game: after the Pirates face off against the Stars, they'll take on Long Beach Poly again at 3:15 p.m. on Friday.
