The Harvey Cavaliers are taking a road trip to square off against the St. Luke's Storm at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Tuesday, Harvey came up short against Canterbury School and fell 18-15.
Dominick Bonserio and Jake Acosta did some serious damage despite the final result: Bonserio scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances, while Acosta scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Johnathan Cappucci was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
While St. Luke's didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-11), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They walked away with an 8-3 victory over King on Thursday. The Storm haven't had any issues with the Vikings recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
Nate Kesselmark was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. He also hit a triple, marking his first of the season.
In other batting news, St. Luke's got a massive performance out of Gage Saresky, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Saresky is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Charlie Ellis, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.
Harvey might still be hurting after the 7-0 loss they got from St. Luke's when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can the Cavaliers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
