The Vermilion Catholic Eagles will head out on the road to take on the Delcambre Panthers at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Vermilion Catholic lost 17-2 to Opelousas Catholic on Wednesday. The Eagles have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Delcambre). They were the clear victor by an 18-2 margin over Gueydan on Thursday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Panthers with their most commanding win of the season.
The team relied heavily on Allie Mayard, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. Those RBI were her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Dakota Fauntleroy, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Delcambre 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 two strikeouts in three consecutive contests.
Delcambre has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. Vermilion Catholic now has a losing record of 1-2.
Vermilion Catholic suffered a grim 16-1 defeat to Delcambre in their previous matchup back in February of 2023. Can Vermilion Catholic avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
