St. Thomas Aquinas has gone a perfect 4-0 against Cardinal Gibbons recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. St. Thomas Aquinas will head out on the road to face off against Cardinal Gibbons at 4:00 p.m. St. Thomas Aquinas knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past five contests -- so hopefully Cardinal Gibbons likes a good challenge.
St. Thomas Aquinas can't be too worried about heading out to take on Cardinal Gibbons: they just beat Jupiter at home, who had been dominant on their own field up to that point. St. Thomas Aquinas was the clear victor by a 19-5 margin over Jupiter on Friday. Considering the Raiders have won nine matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
The team relied heavily on Andrew Alvarez, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and three runs. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. Nico Sabatino was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4.
Alvarez wasn't the only one working in the hit department: St. Thomas Aquinas kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in five consecutive games.
Meanwhile, after a string of four wins, Cardinal Gibbons' good fortune finally ran out on Friday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (4-3), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.
Cardinal Gibbons saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Randy Petron, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Petron is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.
St. Thomas Aquinas has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. Cardinal Gibbons' defeat dropped their record down to 7-10.
Cardinal Gibbons' pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: St. Thomas Aquinas hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .323. It's a different story for Cardinal Gibbons, though, as they've only averaged .244. Will they be able to contain St. Thomas Aquinas' hitters?
St. Thomas Aquinas beat Cardinal Gibbons 8-3 in their previous meeting back in February. Will St. Thomas Aquinas repeat their success, or does Cardinal Gibbons has a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
