The Nazareth Academy Roadrunners are taking a road trip to face off against the Andrean Fighting 59ers at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Nazareth Academy 3.2, Andrean 2.3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Nazareth Academy had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Huntley on Saturday. The Roadrunners put the hurt on the Red Raiders with a sharp 9-1 victory. Considering the Roadrunners have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, Andrean came tearing into Tuesday's match with 11 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with a 5-2 win over the Mustangs.
Andrean pushed their record up to 22-1 with the victory, which was their 14th straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Nazareth Academy, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-5 record this season.
Everything went Nazareth Academy's way against Andrean in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, as Nazareth Academy made off with a 14-8 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Roadrunners since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
