From STAFF REPORTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s incredible how much things can change in such a small period of time.<\/p>\n

Heading into last Saturday’s game at Burbank, Pasadena was just a win away from having a two-game lead with four games to play for third place in the Pacific League.<\/p>\n

That third spot in an automatic ticket punch to the CIF-SS playoffs, something Muir hasn’t done since a Californian named Reagan was in the White House.<\/p>\n

Back to Saturday: PHS lost, 3-2, in eight innings, which allowed the Mustangs to pull within one game of the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Today (Tuesday), PHS was easily handled by unbeaten Arcadia, and worse yet, their ace, Alvie Castro, was injured and went to the hospital to check out his foot after a foul ball made it nearly impossible for the PHS star senior to walk.<\/p>\n

And on top of that, while Castro was at the hospital, Muir rode the strong arm of Valente Vera to a 2-1 win at the same field (Burbank) that Pasadena recently lost at.<\/p>\n

The win means PHS and Muir are now tied for third with three games to play, and the news keeps getting better for the Mustangs.<\/p>\n

They will have their ace, Brian Love on the mound on Friday against Andrew De La Torre, who struck out 13 Pasadena batters last Saturday.<\/p>\n

And Pasadena is facing an unbeaten Chris Wilson on the mound from Arcadia on Thursday at 3:30, and unless Castro heals quickly, the Bulldogs will be without their ace for the first time all season.<\/p>\n

In Tuesday’s victory for Muir, Valente Vera allowed just one run on five hits.<\/p>\n

Vera walked two and struck out seven Burbank batters to earn the victory.<\/p>\n

Emiliano Martinez went 2 for 3, including a double and scored one of the Mustangs’ two runs.<\/p>\n

Amaris and Aryonis Harrison had one hit apiece, and David Solis had an RBI.<\/p>\n

Kevin Torres walked and ended up scoring the other Muir run.<\/p>\n

Muir will look for the sweep when they host Burbank on Friday at 3:30.<\/p>\n

Box Score:<\/strong>
\nM: 0-0-0-2-0-0-0-(2)
\nB: 0-1-0-0-0-0-0-(1)<\/p>\n

Win: Valente Vera
\n2B: Emiliano Martinez<\/p>\n

Records:<\/strong> Muir (10-7-1, 6-5); Burbank (7-11, 5-6)<\/p>\n
