Valor Christian unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Regis Jesuit Raiders by a score of 9-7 on Saturday. The Eagles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Raiders apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in August of 2024.
Elizabeth Canales spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and four unearned) runs on 13 hits and racked up 20 Ks.
At the plate, Abigail Watson made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, two runs, and one triple.
Coincidentally, Valor Christian and Regis Jesuit will both be playing Holy Family the next time they take the field. The Raiders will head out to face the Tigers at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, while the Eagles will play them later in the day, at 2:00 p.m.
