Braden Rosenthal was excellent, scoring two runs while going 3-for-4. Maddox Carter also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Meanwhile, American Heritage suffered their closest loss since March 26, 2024 on Tuesday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (6-4), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.
Noah Garfinkel was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out seven batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and not a single walk).

American Heritage has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-4 record this season. Calvary Christian Academy's win bumped their record up to 5-3-3.
Calvary Christian Academy came out on top in a nail-biter against American Heritage in their previous matchup back in March of 2024, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for Calvary Christian Academy since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
