Opelousas Catholic got themselves on the board against St. Edmund on Thursday, but St. Edmund never followed suit. They blew past the Fighting Blue Jays 7-0. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matches by six runs or more this season.
Ashley Little made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 16 over seven innings pitched. Those 16 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jordan White, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February. Madison Ludeau also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
The win (which was Opelousas Catholic's fifth in a row) raised their record to 13-9. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for St. Edmund, they dropped their record down to 5-10 with the loss, which was their seventh straight on the road.
Looking ahead, Opelousas Catholic will head out to challenge St. Thomas More at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for St. Edmund, they will welcome Jennings at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
