Chaminade is leaving town to face Archbishop Stepinac after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Chaminade fell just short of Iona Prep by a score of 8-6 on Wednesday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it four in a row.

Chaminade got a good showing from Carlos Pereira, who pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits.

At the plate, Collin Anderson led a balanced group of hitters, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Jake Madsen, who went 1-for-2 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.

Meanwhile, Archbishop Stepinac sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over Archbishop Molloy on Wednesday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Crusaders.
