Carondelet was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .375. The last time their batting average was this high was back in March of 2024.
Clayton Valley Charter came out on top in a nail-biter against Carondelet in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, sneaking past 2-1.
