Pius X dropped their record down to 12-13 on Thursday, which also ended the team's four-game streak of wins. They took a 5-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Wahoo/Bishop Neumann Warriors. Having soared to a lofty 11 runs in the game before, the Thunderbolts couldn't push the score so high this time.

Tyler Parr was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits.

On the hitting side, Pius X saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jake Bugbee, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.

As for Wahoo/Bishop Neumann, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-11 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games.

On Wahoo/Bishop Neumann's side, Kaden Christen spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on four hits and racked up nine Ks. Christen has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Isiah Nagle was excellent, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Jase Kaminski was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
