Foundation Academy fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Bishop Moore on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 4-3 to the Bishop Moore Hornets, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. If the Lions were looking for revenge after losing 8-1 to the Hornets when the teams met back in February of 2023, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Michael Surane was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits.
At the plate, Foundation Academy saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Gavin Badua, who scored two runs while going 3-for-5.
Foundation Academy has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-5 record this season. Even worse, they were so close so many times: the defeats came by an average of only one runs. Bishop Moore has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-2 record this season.
