Catholic put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They blew past the Thibodaux Tigers 9-2. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 10-0 last Thursday.
Catholic got a great performance from Mills Richardson as he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). What's more, Richardson gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jack Ruckert, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen at least one in each of the last three games he's played. Andrew Clapinski was another key player, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one double and one RBI.
Catholic hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in four consecutive games.
Catholic pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their 11th straight on the road dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs over those games. As for Thibodaux, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-4.
