The McDonogh Eagles will head out to square off against the St. Paul's Crusaders at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. McDonogh is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.2 runs per game this season.
McDonogh made up a huge gap compared to their last game against Severn School, but they still couldn't quite topple them. The Eagles fell just short of the Admirals by a score of 10-8 on Friday. The Eagles just can't catch a break and have now endured three defeats in a row.
Leo Antwerpen was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI.
