Gabe Mercado posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Thursday.

He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Mercado and Pensacola Catholic will look to defend their home field on Friday against South Warren at 7:00 p.m. Despite Mercado's best efforts to the contrary, the Crusaders will head into their next match having dropped three straight matches.
