Pitching has turned into both teams' strength through a third of the Gabilan Division season.
The Cowboys pitching staff has tossed three shutouts in league play, two from Ethan Santos going into today's home game.
Monterey's staff has compiled two league shutouts while holding two other teams to one run.
Playing three games a week has forced teams to find a third arm in the starting rotation, Nick Russo, Gavin Jarvis and David Gugale have allowed just two earned runs in their last 29 innings.
Ironically, both teams have two league losses to unbeaten San Benito -- both being by one and two runs.
Josh Olivarria has swung a hot bat most of the season for Salinas while Anthony Russo has five hits in his last two games for Monterey, including three in a 2-1, nine-inning win over Palma on Tuesday.
