Fredericksburg Christian has gone a perfect 7-0 against Oakcrest recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Eagles are taking a road trip to take on the Chargers at 4:00 p.m. Fredericksburg Christian is coming into the matchup hot, having won their last five games.

Fredericksburg Christian had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Christchurch School on Friday. The Eagles blew past the Seahorses 19-3. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won five contests by eight runs or more so far this season.

Rylie Johnson was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Becca Medina, who scored three runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

Fredericksburg Christian was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .391. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .303 or higher in five consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Oakcrest hadn't done well against Saint John Paul the Great Catholic recently (they were 0-6 in their previous six matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way last Friday. The Chargers sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-5 victory over the Wolves.

Fredericksburg Christian pushed their record up to 6-3 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Oakcrest, the win got them back to even at 1-1.

Fredericksburg Christian took their victory against Oakcrest in their previous meeting last Wednesday by a conclusive 25-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
