The Chaparral Wolverines will head out to take on the Regis Jesuit Raiders at 12:30 p.m. on Friday. Chaparral is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.1 runs per game this season.
Chaparral is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Colorado's top teams: Castle View, who was ranked second at the time (Chaparral was ranked 18th). The Wolverines came up short against the Sabercats on Wednesday, falling 8-2. The Wolverines have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Madden Kretzer was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-3 with one home run. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season.
Meanwhile, Regis Jesuit had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.7 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Wednesday. They skirted past the Wildcats 6-4. That's two games straight that the Raiders have won by exactly two runs.
Regis Jesuit also got a great performance from Michael Kroll as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. Kroll has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Jacob Olson and Jace Filleman did most of the damage at the plate: Olson went 1-for-3 with one home run, while Filleman went 1-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI Filleman has posted since back in May of 2024. Justin Steinbeck was another key player, earning two runs and three stolen bases.
Regis Jesuit pushed their record up to 10-5 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games. As for Chaparral, their loss was their first in the league, dropping their league record down to 4-1 and their overall record down to 10-6.
Chaparral was able to grind out a solid win over Regis Jesuit in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, winning 8-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolverines since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
