Softball Game Preview: Covenant Christian Cougars vs. Alpha Omega Academy Lions

Covenant Christian hasn't had much luck against Alpha Omega Academy recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Covenant Christian Cougars challenge Alpha Omega Academy Lions at 4:30 p.m. Alpha Omega Academy took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Covenant Christian, who comes in off a win.

Last Tuesday, Covenant Christian earned an 8-5 victory over O'Connell.

Meanwhile, Alpha Omega Academy fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against St. Joseph Catholic on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 9-5 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Eagles.

Alpha Omega Academy has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-11-1 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. Covenant Christian now has a winning record of 2-1.

Everything went Covenant Christian's way against Alpha Omega Academy in their previous meeting on March 7th, as Covenant Christian made off with a 20-11 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Covenant Christian since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
