Game Preview
The Monkeys bounced back from a disappointing loss to the Shaggers with a dominating victory over the Night Stockers last week. The team defense was much improved, and Monkey bats were as potent as ever as they mercied the Stockers in six innings. They are led on offense by Frank Flores, who is among the league leaders in virtually all offensive categories, and no team has figured out a way to contain speedsters Matt Beighley and Eric Alvarez at the top of the lineup. The Monkeys plan to give workhouse pitcher Frank Flores the night off (he will sub in the infield and outfield) and rookie Eric Alvarez will take the mound.
The Sons of Pitches are struggling to score runs this season, and have yet to win a game. They are lead offensively by sluggers Martin Medina (who leads the league in home runs) and Eddie Navarro, but need more contribution from the rest of the lineup to have any hope of competing with the Monkeys.
The Monkeys and the Sons of Pitches met one time last season. The Monkeys prevailed.
Pitching Probables
Monkeys- Eric Alvarez (0-0)
Sons of Pitches- Daniel Lopez (0-4)
