De La Salle had won three straight at home, but on Friday they bumped their record up to 9-21 to make it four. They came out on top against the Leo Lions by a score of 5-2. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Meteors also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2024.
Beckett Hulten spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because De La Salle is 2-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 7-20 otherwise.
