The Ramblers spoiled his day by defeating the Huskies, 12-9. "The loss puts a damper on the outstanding game Armando had, but people will be buzzing about this for days to come," Zapopan HS manager . "That's gotta be some consolation to him. But knowing Armando, he would have preferred a win." For the game, Monarrez was 3-for-5 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "The first two I got all of them and it was no doubt they were gone," Monarrez said later. "It seemed like the wind helped it a little on that last one. I just wish Mother Nature had helped us win the game, too." Armando Monarrez hit a solo-shot off Omar Santizo in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, struck out in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Edgar Rodriguez in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Roman Urquiza in the 8th.
