Fayette Academy won against St. Benedict at Auburndale last Thursday with eight runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Friday. Fayette Academy came out on top against the Brighton Cardinals by a score of 8-3. While the Vikings didn't have the best season last year (they finished 5-18), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Jared Ferge spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on four hits. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in March of 2024.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Mason Bragorgos, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Harris Armour also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
