There's no place like home for Wake Christian Academy, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. Everything went their way against the Trinity Academy Tigers on Tuesday as Wake Christian Academy made off with a 22-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won four matches by eight runs or more so far this season.

Brody Morris was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out nine over four innings pitched. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in May of 2024.

In other batting news, Carter Collins was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and one triple. Wake Christian Academy is undefeated when Collins posts two or more runs, but 2-3 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Trace Turner, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of his five plate appearances.

Wake Christian Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .650. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Wake Christian Academy has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. Trinity Academy dropped their record down to 1-4 with the defeat, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season.

Wake Christian Academy will have a chance to go back-to-back against Trinity Academy: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
