Matchup -- Blast (5-3) at Monterrey La Raza (2-7)

Time -- 9:35

Radio -- 680 AM

Outlook -- Beset with a slew of nagging injuries, the Blast will be looking to end a three-game losing streak in its first visit to Mexico this season. M Matt Watson and F Aduato Neto will miss the game, and M Scott Buete (knee), F Giuliano Celenza (ankle), M Lucio (abdominal strain) and M David Bascome (hip) are listed as questionable. The Blast is coming off an embarrassing performance in a 19-11 loss at home to Detroit in which it trailed 9-0 at halftime. Six Blast players scored goals in the first meeting with Monterrey, which the Blast won, 12-9, after falling behind 5-0.
