Guardian Angels Central Catholic dropped down to 13-8 on Tuesday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the O'Neill Eagles by a score of 5-4. The Bluejays were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Eagles apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2024.
Abby Kreikemeier and Amiah Dirkschneider stepped up to the plate in a big way. Kreikemeier went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run, while Dirkschneider went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
As for O'Neill, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-10 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games.
On O'Neill's side, Rylee Selby spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on three hits and racked up 13 Ks. Selby has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jozy York was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. Grace Drueke also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Looking ahead, Guardian Angels Central Catholic will venture away from home to face off against Yutan-Mead at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Patriots' pitching crew has only allowed 2.1 runs per game this season, so the Bluejays' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for O'Neill, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Highway 91 at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
