The John Paul II Centurions will venture away from home to square off against the King Brahmas at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
John Paul II's tournament run continued when they took on Odem two weeks ago. The Centurions and the Owls finished up their game with a 6-6 tie. The matchup marked the Centurions' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask King). They were the clear victors by a 20-11 margin over West Oso on Tuesday. Considering the Brahmas have won five games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Samuel Gomez was a standout: he went a perfect 4-for-4 with five runs, five RBI, and three doubles. Those four hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jordan Villarreal, who went 4-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs.
King was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .559. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Oso only posted a batting average of .300.
King's win bumped their record up to 9-7. With that draw, John Paul II's record moves to 3-1-1.
Everything went John Paul II's way against King in their previous matchup back in March of 2025, as John Paul II made off with an 11-1 victory. Will the Centurions repeat their success, or do the Brahmas have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
