Softball Game Preview: Bethlehem Academy Cardinals vs. Lyle/Pacelli Athletics

Bethlehem Academy is a perfect 6-0 against Lyle/Pacelli since April of 2023 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Cardinals will head out on the road to square off against the Athletics at 4:30 p.m. Bethlehem Academy will be strutting in after a victory while Lyle/Pacelli will be coming in after a defeat.

Bethlehem Academy barely beat Kenyon-Wanamingo the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Cardinals blew past the Knights 7-1 on Friday. Winning may never get old, but the Cardinals sure are getting used to it with their sixth in a row dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, Lyle/Pacelli had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They lost 28-0 to Houston. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it 22 in a row.

Bethlehem Academy took their win against Lyle/Pacelli when the teams last played back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cardinals since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
