Softball Game Preview: Cranbrook Kingswood Cranes vs. Detroit Cristo Rey WOLVES

Cranbrook Kingswood is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Thursday. They will host the Detroit Cristo Rey WOLVES at 6:00 p.m. Detroit Cristo Rey took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Cranbrook Kingswood, who comes in off a win.

Cranbrook Kingswood took a nine-run defeat the last time they faced off against Our Lady of the Lakes, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Cranes had just enough and edged out the Lakers 12-11. The high-scoring effort was just what the Cranes needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.

Meanwhile, Detroit Cristo Rey unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They came up short against Shrine Catholic last Tuesday, falling 23-8. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.

Cranbrook Kingswood might still be hurting after the 25-5 defeat they got from Detroit Cristo Rey in their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
