Perez wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Flash Krzywicki, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Archbishop Carroll, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They won by a run and slipped past Lansdale Catholic 2-1. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Matt McGaughey spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Nick Gilroy, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple and one run. That triple was his first of the season.
Archbishop Carroll's win was their first in the conference, bumping their conference record up to 1-2 and their overall record up to 3-4. As for Archbishop Ryan, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season.
