The Garfield Rams will challenge the Aquinas Knights at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
As a matter of fact, Garfield put up the most runs they have all season on Tuesday. They came out on top against North by a score of 13-9. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for the Rams' hitters, who had struggled in the games prior.
Corey Patrick was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up four earned runs off five hits. Patrick was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with five stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Shady Miller-Lundy was a standout: he got on base in all five of his plate appearances with six stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. That RBI marked the first that he has brought in this season. Caleb Woodley was another key player, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with seven stolen bases and two runs.
Garfield always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .617. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, while Aquinas put up plenty of runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Chaney. The Knights blew past the Cowboys 16-0. Considering the Knights have won seven games by more than ten runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Aquinas is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. Garfield's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-10.
Garfield might still be hurting after the 17-0 loss they got from Aquinas when the teams last played two weeks ago. Will the Rams have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
