St. Mark is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Saturday. They will head out on the road to square off against the Caravel Academy Buccaneers at 1:00 p.m. St. Mark's will come into the match with an undefeated record on the line.
On Wednesday, St. Mark's got the win against Smyrna by a conclusive 9-2. Considering the Spartans have won six contests by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Caravel Academy). They never let Elkton get on the board and left with a 12-0 victory on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Buccaneers with their most commanding win of the season.
Not much got past Garrett Bohn, who gave up just two hits and racked up ten Ks to keep Elkton off the board. Bohn has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Caravel Academy got a big performance out of Matt Rice, who went 1-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those three RBI gave Rice a new career-high. Chase Klockers also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Caravel Academy has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for St. Mark's, their victory was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0.
St. Mark's beat Caravel Academy 8-3 in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Spartans since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
