Charlotte Catholic put their dominant pitchers on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Tuesday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Garinger Wildcats an 18-0 shutout. Considering the Cougars have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Justin Tavares looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
At the plate, John Hucko was incredible, going 1-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Caden O'Neill, who went 1-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one double.
Charlotte Catholic always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .519. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .519 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
Charlotte Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. Garinger has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six contests. That's still a better percentage than their 1-9-1 record this season.
Charlotte Catholic will have a chance to go back-to-back against Garinger: the pair will be back at it again later today.
