The Bay School has gone a perfect 10-0 against International recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Breakers will welcome the Jaguars at 3:30 p.m. The Bay School is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.5 runs per game this season.
The Bay School took a loss when they played away from home on Saturday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They blew past Credo 11-4. The high-scoring effort was just what the Breakers needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
Ansel Hermanos made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). He also tossed a walk, which is notable because The Bay School is 7-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 1-2 otherwise. Hermanos was also solid in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. That's the most runs he has posted since back in May of 2024.
