St. Stanislaus is on a four-game streak of home wins, while St. Patrick is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The St. Stanislaus Rock-a-Chaws will welcome the St. Patrick Fighting Irish at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. St. Stanislaus' pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so St. Patrick's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
St. Stanislaus' pitching crew heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 6-0 margin over Perry Central. The result was nothing new for the Rock-a-Chaws, who have now won five games by six runs or more so far this season.

Jackson Orozco tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over six innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in February.
On the hitting side, Wiley Mossy was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base.
Meanwhile, St. Patrick was not the first on the board on Saturday, but they got there more often. They came out on top against West Harrison by a score of 5-2. The Fighting Irish have beaten the Hurricanes the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Hurricanes has come to flipping the script.
The team relied heavily on Eli Bowen, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
St. Stanislaus has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. St. Patrick's win bumped their record up to 11-4.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. St. Stanislaus has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like St. Patrick struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
St. Stanislaus couldn't quite finish off St. Patrick in their previous meeting back in March of 2024 and fell 3-1. Can St. Stanislaus avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
