While Xaverian's victory against Holy Cross wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Clippers narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Knights 2-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Clippers have posted since March 12th.
Xaverian got a great performance from Robert Ladesma as he struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). Ladesma has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Xaverian saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jordan Steiger, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Lorenzo Agostino was another, going 2-for-3 with two doubles.
The win made it two in a row for Xaverian and bumps their season record up to 4-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 3 runs in those games. As for Holy Cross, they now have a losing record of 2-3.
