The Kellenberg Memorial Firebirds are taking a road trip to take on the Chaminade Flyers at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Kellenberg Memorial's pitching crew has only allowed 3.1 runs per game this season, so Chaminade's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Kellenberg Memorial's usually-dominant pitching crew will be looking to make up for Wednesday's struggle, when St. Dominic hitters got past them. The Firebirds came up short against the Bayhawks on Wednesday, falling 15-5. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Firebirds have suffered since April 9, 2024.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chaminade). They were the clear victors by a 19-1 margin over Holy Cross on Thursday. The Flyers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by seven runs or more this season.
Matteo Moscheni looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. He is becoming a predictor of Chaminade's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 2-1 (and 9-10 when he doesn't).
On the hitting side, Danny Anicito was a standout: he got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Chaminade is undefeated when Anicito posts two or more runs, but 8-11 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Jake Settanni, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
Chaminade always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .765. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The win (which was Chaminade's third in a row) raised their record to 11-11. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Kellenberg Memorial, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-5 record this season.
