The Roncalli Jets will take on the Hilbert Wolves at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
On Thursday, Roncalli wound up with the same score they had in their last game (4-1), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.
Roncalli saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jake Hillmer, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Hilbert fell victim to Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah and their airtight pitching crew on Thursday. They took a 3-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Resorters. That's two games in a row now that the Wolves have lost by exactly three runs.
Roncalli's loss dropped their record down to 10-8. As for Hilbert, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Roncalli has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Hilbert struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
