Holy Name easily dispatched Gilmour Academy on Tuesday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. The Green Wave fell just short of the Villa Angela-St. Joseph Vikings by a score of 6-4 on Wednesday.
Chance Apathy put in work no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two RBI.
In other pitching news, Holy Name handed starting duties to Frankie Germano, who gave a strong showing despite the result: he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. Furthermore, Germano didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in May of 2025.
