Skutt Catholic came tearing into Monday's match with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Fremont Tigers with a sharp 8-2 victory. The SkyHawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by six runs or more this season.

Huston Beran spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Skutt Catholic got a big performance out of Joe Kolega, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that Kolega has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Gage Guenther, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

Skutt Catholic hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their strikeout total in three consecutive contests.

Skutt Catholic's win was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 18-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Fremont, their loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 8-12.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Skutt Catholic is set to challenge their familiar foe Lincoln East at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the SkyHawks 2.4, the Spartans 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Fremont will square off against rival Lincoln Northeast at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
