Meanwhile, Providence Hall won against Summit Academy two weeks ago with 11 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again last Friday. The Patriots came out on top against Judge Memorial Catholic by a score of 11-7. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 13, 2023, but that streak is no more.
