Holy Name proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by 12) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin a 1-0 shutout. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Green Wave have posted since April 7th.

On the hitting side, Holy Name saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Aubrey Stephens, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one double. Emmalee Majoros also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Elyria Catholic faced off against St. Joseph Academy on Wednesday. The Panthers blew past the Jaguars 12-2. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 contests by six runs or more this season.
Megan Stang spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on seven hits.
At the plate, Elyria Catholic let Jessica Conner and Nadia Pagan run wild. Conner went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, five RBI, and two runs, while Pagan went 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, four runs, and one double.

The team also got some help courtesy of Lillian Ciryak, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
