The Northstar Christian Academy Knights will head out on the road to square off against the Saint John Paul the Great Catholic Wolves at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Last Saturday, Northstar Christian Academy didn't have quite enough to beat Greece Odyssey and fell 7-6. The loss continues a trend for the Knights in their meetings with the Leopards: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, Saint John Paul the Great Catholic came up short against Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology on Monday and fell 11-8.
Saint John Paul the Great Catholic got a good showing from Elijah Thompson, who tossed 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Thompson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Charlie Skala made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored three runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3. He is becoming a predictor of Saint John Paul the Great Catholic's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 3-1 (and 2-8 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of James Genovese, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-4.
