Baseball Game Preview: Washtenaw Christian Academy Wildcats vs. Faith Christian

The Washtenaw Christian Academy Wildcats will head out on the road to square off against Faith Christian at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Washtenaw Christian Academy can't be too happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Monday. They lost 16-9 to Britton Deerfield. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.

Benedict Deemer was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. Salvador Toledo was another key player, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

Faith Christian let Faith Baptist stack five runs on them in the seventh inning on Monday but luckily Faith Christian prevailed anyway. Faith Christian had just enough and edged out Faith Baptist 10-9. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last five times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.

Isaac Kaynor made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over 4.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. Kaynor was even better at the plate, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and three runs. Kaynor is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season.

Kaynor wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nathan Hayley, who went a perfect 5-for-5 with six RBI, two stolen bases, and three doubles. Hayley is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Jesse Watson also deserves some recognition as he scored his first runs of the season.

Faith Christian was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .452. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive contests.
