The Mendon Vikings will challenge the Bishop Kearney Kings at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Mendon fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Victor on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Blue Devils by a score of 11-9. The Vikings have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, Bishop Kearney had to kick off their season on the road on Tuesday, but they showed no ill effects. They were the clear victors by a 13-1 margin over Aquinas Institute. The win continues a trend for the Kings in their matchups with the Little Irish: they've now won six in a row.
Carmella Phelan was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Phelan was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base.
In other batting news, Bishop Kearney got a massive performance out of Coral Enscoe, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. Claire Spears was another key player, going 1-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.
Mendon couldn't quite finish off Bishop Kearney in their previous meeting back in May of 2023 and fell 2-0. Can the Vikings avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
