The Robertson Cardinals will face off against the St. Michael's Horsemen at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Robertson is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.1 runs per game this season.

Tuesday just wasn't the day for Robertson's offense. They lost 10-0 to Capital on Tuesday.

Robertson saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Connor Bonney, who went 1-for-2 with one double.

Meanwhile, while St. Michael's put up plenty of runs on Thursday, the same can't be said for Estancia. The Horsemen blew past the Bears 21-0. The result was nothing new for the Horsemen, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.

Santiago Martinez was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, eight RBI, and four runs. St. Michael's is 7-1 when Martinez posts two or more runs, but 4-5 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Aidan Cedillo, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.

St. Michael's lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in April of 2024.

St. Michael's is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.8 runs over those games. As for Robertson, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-4-1.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Robertson has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like St. Michael's struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Robertson might still be hurting after the 10-2 loss they got from St. Michael's in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can the Cardinals avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
