Mustangs Win Pitcher’s Duel

Written By: Talk of the Sound News

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Last night the Monroe College Mustangs wrapped up a five-game sweep of their regular season series vs. Globe Institute of Technology to improve to 25-11 on the season by defeating them in a nine-inning contest by the score of 3-1.

In what turned out to be a pitcher’s duel, freshman Jovian Gonzalez earned his second win of the season, throwing six scoreless innings. Freshman Anfernee Torruella threw two shutout innings in relief, and sophomore Juan Arias closed it out to earn his fifth save of the season.

Offensively, the Mustangs struggled a bit, but got enough production from? from freshman Endy Villalona sophomore Manuel Bouffard to win the game. Endy went 1 for 5 with 2 RBIs, and Manny went 2 for 5 against tough Globe pitching.

The Mustangs head South for an extremely challenging road trip beginning on Thursday, April 23rd?, vs Mercer County College, followed by three consecutive doubleheaders: Friday, against Garret College, Saturday at Potomac St, and Sunday at Hagerstown.
