Baseball Recap: Damien Extends Winning Streak to Five

Damien came tearing into Saturday's game 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 came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 6-5 W against the St. Louis Crusaders. While the Monarchs didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-11), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Damien's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for St. Louis, they now have a losing record of 1-2.

Coming up, Damien will face off against Kamehameha Kapalama at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Damien 4, Kamehameha Kapalama 3.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for St. Louis, they will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against Mid-Pacific Institute at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Mid-Pacific Institute's pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so St. Louis' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
