New Milford gave up the first runs on Wednesday, but they didn't let that get them down. They blew past Notre Dame Prep 14-3. The Green Wave might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by ten runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, Wednesday just wasn't the day for Kolbe-Cathedral's offense. They lost 10-0 to Weston on Wednesday. The loss continues a trend for the Cougars in their meetings with the Trojans: they've now lost six in a row.
New Milford's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Kolbe-Cathedral, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. New Milford has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Kolbe-Cathedral struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
New Milford beat Kolbe-Cathedral 7-3 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Green Wave since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
