The Harvey Cavaliers will head out to take on the Rye Country Day Wildcats at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Harvey is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 13.8 runs per game this season.
Harvey's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They didn't even let Forman on the board, marking the Cavaliers' second-straight 20-0 shutout. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Cavaliers.
Max Hernandez made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Hernandez was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.

Meanwhile, it was close, but on Thursday Rye Country Day sidestepped King for a 6-4 win.
Rye Country Day also got a great performance from Andrew Leonard as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over 4.1 innings pitched. Leonard has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Jackson Koslow was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Chris Emmet, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Rye Country Day's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Harvey, the victory got them back to even at 2-2.
Rye Country Day's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Harvey has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .675. It's a different story for Rye Country Day, though, as they've only averaged .360. Will they be able to contain Harvey's hitters?
Harvey skirted past Rye Country Day 5-3 in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cavaliers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
