Catherine Schumm made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and six unearned) runs off four hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2024.

In other batting news, Jodi Browning was a standout: she scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged two or more in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Elena DelCotto, who scored three runs while going 4-for-4.

Cabrini kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 12.4.

Cabrini's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 3-10. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 20.7 runs over those games. As for Detroit Cristo Rey, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.

Cabrini will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cranbrook Kingswood at 4:30 p.m. on the 29th. After both having extra time off, Detroit Cristo Rey and Cardinal Mooney Catholic will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 6:00 p.m. on the 29th. The Cardinals have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 14 runs per game on average), something the WOLVES will no doubt try to take advantage of.
