St. Vincent de Paul and Healdsburg are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2022, but likely not for long. The Mustangs will take on the Greyhounds at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Healdsburg took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on St. Vincent de Paul, who comes in off a win.

Having struggled with 11 defeats in a row, St. Vincent de Paul turned things around against St. Bernard's on Monday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-4 win over the Crusaders. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Mustangs have posted since March 13th.

Will Hankins spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned runs on ten hits.

At the plate, Omar Mughannam was excellent, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and two runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Tyler Chelew also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.

Meanwhile, Healdsburg fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Analy on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 5-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tigers. The Greyhounds have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Eric Nielsen was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched eight innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits.

St. Vincent de Paul's win bumped their record up to 3-13. As for Healdsburg, their loss dropped their record down to 11-6.

St. Vincent de Paul might still be hurting after the 9-3 defeat they got from Healdsburg when the teams last played back in March. Can the Mustangs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
