The Beaumont Cougars will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Kaiser Cats at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
On Saturday, Beaumont earned an 8-4 win over JW North.
Beaumont's victory was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Josue Donato, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Ronnie Collins was another, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Beaumont kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as JW North only managed six.
Meanwhile, Kaiser had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They skirted past Hillcrest 4-2. The win continues a trend for the Cats in their matchups with the Trojans: they've now won four in a row.
Dom Roybal looked comfortable as he tossed 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.
At the plate, Jaidyn Brooks and Alberto Arteaga did most of the damage at the plate: Brooks went 2-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Arteaga went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double. Another player making a difference was Tino Isaiah Cuellar, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.
Beaumont couldn't quite finish off Kaiser when the teams last played back in February of 2023 and fell 5-3. Can the Cougars avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
