Kyle Carey made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over seven innings pitched. He has become a key player for Carver: the team is 2-1 when he allows at most one hit, but 3-10 otherwise. Carey was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.
St. John Paul II let Archbishop Williams stack six runs on them in the second inning on Tuesday but luckily St. John Paul II prevailed anyway.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Logan Our, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with four stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged two or more in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Colin Buckley, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI and one run.
