The St. John Paul II Lions will venture away from home to face off against the Archbishop Williams Bishops at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. St. John Paul II is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 12.3 runs per game this season.

St. John Paul II fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Bridgewater-Raynham on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Trojans by a score of 5-4. It was the first time this season that the Lions let down their fans at home.

Tyler Ross was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out six batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Logan Our was cooking despite his team's loss, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs. Xavien Suero was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

Meanwhile, Archbishop Williams owes their pitching crew a big pat on the back after their performance on Saturday. Everything went their way against Tewksbury Memorial as they made off with a 7-0 victory.

Archbishop Williams' win bumped their record up to 5-12. As for St. John Paul II, the loss was their first at home , dropping their record down to 18-2.

St. John Paul II took their victory against Archbishop Williams in their previous matchup back in April by a conclusive 11-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lions since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
