If Calvary Baptist Academy was feeling good fresh off their 13-2 takedown of Stanley last Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Calvary Baptist Academy Cavaliers fell just short of the Loyola College Prep Flyers by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday. The Cavaliers were red-hot at the plate heading into the match (they scored no less than ten runs in the three games prior), but the Flyers' pitcher proved too tough.
Judson Funderburk put in work while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed six innings while giving up three earned runs off ten hits. What's more, he gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had since back in February. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting three hits from his three at bats. He is on a roll when it comes to hits, as he's now got three or more in each of the last three games he's played.
Funderburk wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Maddux Lyddy, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Another was Jacob Tibbett, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and two RBI.
