 Christopher Arredondo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a  run allowed (which was  unearned)  on four hits and racked up six Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't  given up  more than two  walks any time he's  pitched this season.
 On the hitting side, Mater Lakes Academy saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was  JAMES GIL, who  went 2-for-3 with one  double and one  RBI.
Meanwhile, Somerset Academy sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with  an  8-6  win over Archbishop McCarthy  on Thursday. With that  victory, the Panthers brought their scoring average up to 6.2  runs per game.
Somerset Academy also got a great performance from  Kareem Amer as he  struck out nine batters over  5.1 innings while giving up  four earned  (and one unearned) runs off   three  hits. The dominant performance gave  Amer a new career-high in  strikeouts.
 At the plate, Somerset Academy let  Meyer Cabrera and  Jon Mora run wild. Cabrera  went 1-for-3 with one  home run and four  RBI, while  Mora  scored two  runs and  stole a base while going 3-for-4. What's more,  Mora posted three  hits, the most he's  had since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was  Eric Vazquez, who  scored a  run while going 2-for-3.
 Somerset Academy was getting hits left and right  and  finished the game having  posted a batting average of .429. That's the best  batting average they've posted all season.
 Mater Lakes Academy is  on a roll lately: they've  won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 3-1-2 record  this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as  they  averaged 8.0 runs over those games. Somerset Academy's win bumped their record up to 4-1.
 Mater Lakes Academy couldn't quite finish off Somerset Academy in their previous matchup  back in April of 2019 and fell  3-1. Can Mater Lakes Academy avenge their  loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
