Kian Hessabi spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up six Ks. Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
On the hitting side, Owen Inderkum was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while going 4-for-4. Boston Costley also deserves some recognition as he stole his first stolen base of the season.
Meanwhile, Christian Brothers posted their biggest win since April 24, 2024 on Saturday. They blew past Vanden 7-1. The Falcons' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Christian Brothers also got a great performance from Dre Lee as he struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Henry Ramsey, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-3. Lucas Rado was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.
The victory (which was Christian Brothers' third in a row) raised their record to 3-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Inderkum, their record now sits at 3-1.
Inderkum's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's game. Inderkum has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.2 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Christian Brothers, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Inderkum continue to outrun the ball?
Inderkum beat Christian Brothers 4-1 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Will Inderkum repeat their success, or does Christian Brothers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
