Normandy dropped their record down to 6-13 on Saturday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins. They took a 10-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Holy Name Green Wave. The Invaders were not able to make up for their loss to the Green Wave from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.

Nick Hinkle made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. He 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. Another player making a difference was Victor Reyes, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

As for Holy Name, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games.

On Holy Name's side, Brendon Preisel tossed a big game, tossing five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. The dominant performance also gave Preisel a new career-high in strikeouts (four).

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Nick Nemeth, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one run, and one double. Mikey Tworzydlo was another key player, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Normandy will take on Bay at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Invaders are facing the Rockets at the right time seeing as the Rockets are stuck on a three-game losing streak. As for Holy Name, they will head out on the road to square off against Padua Franciscan at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bruins' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Green Wave's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
