Softball Game Preview: St. John Paul II Falcons vs. Tanner Rattlers

The St. John Paul II Falcons will head out to square off against the Tanner Rattlers at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

St. John Paul II fell victim to Ashville and their airtight pitching crew on Saturday. They fell just short of the Bulldogs by a score of 2-0. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Falcons have suffered since April 12, 2024.

Meanwhile, Tanner had to start their season on the road on Tuesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They lost 9-0 to Clements. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it 11 in a row.

St. John Paul II took their win against Tanner in their previous matchup back in April of 2022 by a conclusive 18-1. Will St. John Paul II repeat their success, or does Tanner have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
