Baseball Game Preview: Simley Spartans vs. St. Thomas Academy Cadets

The Simley Spartans will take on the St. Thomas Academy Cadets at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

Simley is headed into Friday's contest looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fourth straight games dating back to last season on Wednesday. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-3 heartbreaker at the hands of Hill-Murray.

Meanwhile, St. Thomas Academy gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Wednesday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Hastings a 10-0 shutout.

Simley might still be hurting after the 8-0 defeat they got from St. Thomas Academy in their previous meeting back in June of 2025. Can the Spartans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
