St. Francis and Aurora Central Catholic are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2019, but likely not for long. The Spartans will venture away from home to challenge the Chargers at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (St. Francis 3.6, Aurora Central Catholic 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
St. Francis was handed a six-run defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past IC Catholic Prep 4-3.
Meanwhile, it may have taken ten innings to finish the job, but Aurora Central Catholic ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over Nazareth Academy.
Corina Miller spent all ten innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Morgan Vaghy was excellent, going 1-for-3 with two runs and one triple.
Aurora Central Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. As for St. Francis, their win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-4.
St. Francis might still be hurting after the 13-1 loss they got from Aurora Central Catholic in their previous meeting back in April. Can the Spartans avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
