The Upperman Bees will take on the Christ Presbyterian Academy Lions at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Upperman is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.6 runs per game this season.
Upperman is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Station Camp just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Thursday. They lost 12-5 to the Bison. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Bees have suffered since March 13th.
Rookie Allison was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over 2.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles and one RBI.
Allison wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Alec Wilson, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one triple. That triple marked the first that Wilson has hit this season.
Meanwhile, Christ Presbyterian Academy had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it nine on Thursday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 3-2 W against the Eagles.
Christ Presbyterian Academy's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 24-2-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.9 runs on average over those games. As for Upperman, their loss dropped their record down to 15-9.
Upperman couldn't quite finish off Christ Presbyterian Academy when the teams last played back in April of 2024 and fell 6-4. Will the Bees 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.
