Caroline D'Onofrio spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Ellie Fatsi was excellent, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. Leah Seitz also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Meanwhile, Kent School fell victim to Choate Rosemary Hall School and their airtight pitching crew last Wednesday. They took a 5-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Wild Boars.

St. Luke's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Kent School, their loss dropped their record down to 0-1.

St. Luke's came out on top in a nail-biter against Kent School when the teams last played back in April of 2022, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Storm since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
