The King's Academy won the last time they faced Cristo Rey Atlanta and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Knights put the hurt on Cristo Rey Atlanta with a sharp 13-6 victory. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by six runs or more this season.

Davis Windham made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. Windham was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.

In other batting news, The King's Academy got a massive performance out of Jimmy Anderson, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. Anderson is becoming a predictor of the Knights' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-6 when he doesn't). Josh Jordi was another key player, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three RBI, one triple, and one run.

The King's Academy pushed their record up to 11-6 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Cristo Rey Atlanta, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-7 record this season.

The King's Academy will take on Mt. Bethel Christian Academy at 12:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Cristo Rey Atlanta, they will challenge South Atlanta at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Hornets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.53 runs per game on average), something Cristo Rey Atlanta will no doubt try to take advantage of.
