Neumann-Goretti has gone a perfect 9-0 against Devon Prep recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Saints will welcome the Tide at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Neumann-Goretti 3.7, Devon Prep 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Thursday just wasn't the day for Neumann-Goretti's offense. They fell just short of Conwell-Egan Catholic by a score of 1-0 on Thursday.
Anthony Coppola spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on six hits.
On the hitting side, Neumann-Goretti saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Nicholas Cerone, who went 2-for-3 with one double.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Devon Prep). Everything went their way against Upper Merion Area on Saturday as they made off with a 13-1 win. Winning may never get old, but the Tide sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.
Ryan Samms tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
At the plate, Hudson Swan and Austin Conaty did most of the damage at the plate: Swan went 1-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double, while Conaty went 1-for-3 with two runs and two RBI. Conaty is becoming a predictor of Devon Prep's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-10 when he doesn't). Alex Hannah was another key player, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one stolen base.
Neumann-Goretti has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-9-1 record this season. As for Devon Prep, their victory bumped their record up to 8-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Neumann-Goretti has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Devon Prep struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Neumann-Goretti came out on top in a nail-biter against Devon Prep in their previous meeting back in April, sneaking past 3-2. Will the Saints repeat their success, or do the Tide have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
